I did try it here. Thanks for the pointers.

We use a Docker container to run QEMU and in this environment, it does
not work well. At least I did not get it working.

I don't know if it is a problem or not for OE-Core. Possibly people
will run things inside a container and keep rng-tools makes it working
in those environments.

I will keep investigating here if I can make it work in a container ...
