8085 random no generation

[Dinesh Jain]

i need to build a mini project at my college and i need to do this on 8085.i decided to work on digital dice but i don't know how to generate the random no on seven segment display using 8085.could someone help me out to to solve the problem and provide me the code or the way to implement the random generation of no in 8085 as soon as possible.it would be really helpful for me.

You can employ the rand() function available at stdlib.h library, which performs a pseudo-random generation.

Just remark on selection of the seed number, which must be aleatory, in order to ensure different results at each generation.

thanks andre for your concern but 8085 does not support c. It only works with assembly language.

You mean to say, you don't use a C-compiler for it. But they definitely exist.

A LFSR pseudo random generator can be easily setup in assembler. Sampling a fast counter based on a user keypress should usually give sufficient randomness for small numbers.
