NIST-STS Testing Directory Reorganization

NuttX-Apps NIST-STS Testing Directory Reorganization

Overview

Reorganize NIST Statistical Test Suite (nist-sts) testing module by moving it from the top-level testing/ directory into testing/drivers/ directory structure for better code organization and alignment with other driver-related tests.

Motivation

The NIST-STS tests utilize the /dev/random device, making them driver-related tests. Moving them into the testing/drivers/ directory provides:

• Better organization: Groups all driver-related tests in a unified location
• Consistency: Aligns with the existing directory structure for crypto and other driver tests
• Maintainability: Easier to manage and discover driver-specific test suites

Changes

• Move testing/nist-sts/ → testing/drivers/nist-sts/
• Update build configuration files:
  • CMakeLists.txt (path references)
  • Makefile (source paths)
  • Make.defs (build variables)
• Preserve all test patches and Kconfig settings

Backward Compatibility

No breaking changes. The test functionality remains identical; only the directory location is updated.

@ThePassionate following this logic, shouldn't it be better to move nist-sts to inside testing/drivers/crypto/? That seems the proper place, since nist-sts is not a test for all drivers, but for specific crypto random driver. Just my 2 cents

Yes, you are right! Nist-sts is for testing /dev/random, so let me change it into rng directory.

move to testing/drivers/rng

move to testing/drivers/rng

the name come from 3rd party project, it's better to keep as before so the user can know it's origin directly. @acassis

No, I mean: apps/testing/drivers/rng/nist-sts

My initial suggestion was apps/testing/drivers/crypto/ but @ThePassionate suggested rng

have fixed. Thanks!
