[U-Boot] Issue enabling TPM 2.0 on RPI

Hi Elena, Miquel,

I'm busy on SLB9670 again after a longer interruption. I'm using Xilinx Zynq/ZynqMP and SLB960/SLM9670/SLI9670 and u-boot 2019.06-rc2.

Out of the box the driver can access on the TPM after patching the Cadence SPI driver what I use on Zynq/ZynqMP. So you should be able to discover the TPM while using the setup you mentioned below but slow down the speed. Eventually 1MHz is too fast for Soft-SPI too.

I recommend to select a SPI speed between 10MHz to 25MHz when using a hard SPI like me. Why are you trying to use soft-spi instead of the hard-spi?

Also please try the command tpm info before trying tpm init. tpm info doesn't require to open the driver really but it reads out the vendor id.

Nevertheless I see an issue how the tpm driver controls the CS#. It seems CS# does not remain low long enough. Probably the TPMs of several vendors behave slightly different on CS#. 

But firstly check tpm init please.

Right, so it seems that the communication works.

Back to debugging then, you may dump the bytes read/written in your SPI
driver's read/write callbacks. Once you'll have a working solution,
it would be very appreciated if you could contribute it back. Good luck!


Thanks,
