on amlogic devices like S805/S905 and S912 it needs much time - 2 to 30 minutes - to fill the entropy pool with random numbers.

At the page
https://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:c1_hardware_number_generator
it shows (for the Ordroid C1) teh solution to install rng-tools:
rng-tools - Daemon to use a Hardware TRNG

After this Daemon is installed the entropy pool is filled quickly like on a NanoPi Neo2 :)
I tested this on my Odroid C2 (S905) and a Sunvell T95K Pro (S912):

Please consider this rng-tools as a default package for amlogic-images of armbian.
