Driving random values on all elements of a bundle

Quick addition to the previous post.  This technique is useful when prototyping hardware.  Use LFSRs to drive pins/ports such that no logic pruning occurs its cone of logic during synthesis.

  final def prng(bundle: Bundle): Unit = {
    bundle.elements.filter(_._2.dir == OUTPUT).foreach {
      case (n, d) => {
        val r = Module(new LFSR(d.getWidth))
        when(true.B) {
          d := r.io.y
  } } } }
