Trusted Protection Module

Gateworks has an optional TPM on some SBCs.

The below models can optionally have it loaded:

• Malibu GW8901
• Venice:
  • GW74xx-B
  • GW73xx-F
  • GW72xx-F
  • GW71xx-E

The boards can contain an onboard Microchip ATTPM20P-H6MA1-10 TPM connected to the SPI bus.

This is compliant to the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Version 2.0, r116 Trusted Platform Module Library. See link here: ​Link

Cryptographic Support for:

• HMAC
• AES-128
• SHA-1
• SHA-256
• ECC BN_P256, ECCNIST_P256 -RSA 1024-2048 bit keys

It is controlled via generic TCG SPI Linux driver. TPM 2.0 provides direct access via /dev/tpm0 (with one client at a time), and can be accessed through the tpm2-abrmd resource manager daemon, or kernel-managed access via /dev/tpmrm0

The TPM device is at /dev/tpm0

The TPM tool set (over 100 different commands) can be installed with the following command:

apt install tpm2-tools tpm2-abrmd
