33.1 RAND Synchronous Driver

The Random Number Generator (RAND) generates a sequence of numbers that can not be reasonably predicted better than by a random chance.

In some implementation cases, seed is required for the Random Number Generator to generate random numbers. The rand_sync_set_seed function is used to update the seed. If it's actually not required by the generator implementation, the function returns ERR_UNSUPPORTED_OP.
