NAME

tpm — Trusted Platform Module

SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

tpm_load="YES"

In /boot/device.hints:
hint.tpm.0.at="isa"
hint.tpm.0.maddr="0xfed40000"
hint.tpm.0.msize="0x5000"
hint.tpm.1.at="isa"
hint.tpm.1.maddr="0xfed40000"
hint.tpm.1.msize="0x1000"

DESCRIPTION

The tpm driver provides support for various trusted platform modules (TPM) that can store cryptographic keys.

Supported modules:

• Atmel 97SC3203
• Broadcom BCM0102
• Infineon IFX SLD 9630 TT 1.1 and IFX SLB 9635 TT 1.2
• Intel INTC0102
• Sinosun SNS SSX35
• STM ST19WP18
• Winbond WEC WPCT200

The driver can be configured to use an IRQ by providing a free ISA interrupt vector in /boot/device.hints.
