Mainline

Hello TPM friends,

after more than 18 months of work, compiling, testing, tears, blood...

MAINLINE! \o/
(On the RPi repository)
Now you find the dto in the newest raspbian image, per default.

To activate the TPM on your Raspberry Pi you need only these simple commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo nano /boot/config.txt

// and activate SPI with uncomment
"dtparam=spi=on"

// and load the TPM device tree overlay with
"dtoverlay=tpm-slb9670"

// save the config.txt

sudo reboot

// after the reboot

ls /dev/tpm0

// if you own a LetsTrust-TPM and plug it in the right way, you will get /dev/tpm0 in yellow letters


Thanks to all supportes :-)

Bye for now!

Paul

Success!

Hello and welcome!

I´m really proud to introduce the new way to get your LetsTrust-TPM working with your Raspberry Pi!

Till the next Stretch update from the RasPi Foundation the way will be:

Step one:
Open a (whatever) term on your Pi.

Step two:
Run a "sudo rpi-update"

Step three:
Open the /boot/config.txt with "sudo nano /boot/config.txt"
and activate SPI with uncomment
"dtparam=spi=on"
and load the TPM device tree overlay with
"dtoverlay=tpm-slb9670"

Step four:
Plug your LetsTrust-TPM onto the right pins and reboot your Raspberry Pi

Step five:
Open a (whatever) term on your Pi and type "ls /dev/tpm0" and
/dev/tpm0 will appear in yellow letters!

Step six:
Be happy about your success!

Huge thanks to a friend of mine an ex colleague: Peter Hüwe.
He found this smart solution [1] for the Pull Request issues [2].

Thank you Phil Elwell for evaluation, identifying problems and finally merging the PR [3]


Bye for now!

Paul

Hello everybody,

months without new blog posts, please apoligize, I had so much to do the last months.

Now i´ved patched the last Raspbian-Image "Stretch" with the TPM-SPI-driver, you´ll find the Image on this LINK.
In this Image the eltt2 tool ist NOT pre compiled.

please use:

git clone https://github.com/Infineon/eltt2.git
cd eltt2
make
sudo ./eltt2 -g
sudo ./eltt2 -h


Have fun!

Bye for now!

Paul


// Deutsche Version

Hallo zusammen,

Monate ohne neue Blog-Postings, bitte entschuldigt, ich hatte einfach zu viel zu tun./

So, jetzt habe ich das letzte Raspbian-Image "Stretch" mit dem TPM-SPI-Treiber gepatcht, dieses findest du auf diesem LINK..

In diesem Image ist das eltt2-Tool NICHT vorkompiliert.

Um dies zu ändern:

git clone https://github.com/Infineon/eltt2.git
cd eltt2
make
sudo ./eltt2 -g
sudo ./eltt2 -h


Das wars für heute!

Updates!

//Germanversion below

Hello everybody,

currently there is a problem in the firmware of the TPM chip from Infineon which was installed on the LetsTrust TPM modules.

Information about the problem can be found at the following links:
https://www.infineon.com/TPM-update
https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/security-guidance/advisory/ADV170012
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/tpm_firmware_update

Not affected are firmware versions >= 7.62.3126 for TPM 2.0.
You can check this under Linux with the eltt2 and the command "sudo ./eltt2 -g".

Unfortunately, there is currently no update tool which I could link here.


Max of pi3g has assured that he will take care of the rapid exchange of the modules.

Please note that when exchanging your module, all keys generated in the TPM and, of course, the stored keys will also be lost. Please take appropriate measures, for example, endcrypt your backups ^ __ ^.

Bye for now!

Howto Enable TPM Support on a Raspberry PI (0, 0W, 1, 2, 3, 3b+) and make it work with the LetsTrust TPM

UPDATE: Works for Pi 3b+, too!

Due to the recent inclusion of the TPM_TIS_SPI patches to the mainline kernel
and the consequent backports to v4.9.x and 4.11.x it's now much easier to get
the support for the LetsTrust TPM up and running.
No more patching necessary!

tldr: Enable CONFIG_TCG_TIS_SPI in your Kernel Config, and modify your
device tree accordingly.

This tutorial will show you how to perform these steps for your Raspberry PI
(0, 0W, 1, 2, 3).

It is assumed that you are cross-compiling from your desktop PC (i.e. not
building the kernel on the raspberry itself) and create everything in your home directory (~).

For more details please also read the excellent guide from the Raspberry Pi
Foundation on howto compile your kernel.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/configuring.md

On a Ubuntu system you should install the following packages
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
gddrescue
git
libncurses5-dev
bc


First download the toolchain you need for cross compilation
$ git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools
and add the tools to your executable search path
$ export PATH=$PATH:~/tools

Then grab the kernel sources
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux
and enter the directory
$ cd linux

Next step is to get the default kernel configuration:

For Pi 1, Pi 0, Pi 0 W, or Compute Module:
$ KERNEL=kernel
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- bcmrpi_defconfig


For Pi 2, Pi 3, or Compute Module 3:
$ KERNEL=kernel7
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- bcm2709_defconfig


Then we have to enable the TPM Support in the Kernel via make menuconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig
In this gui navigate to
Device Drivers
---> Character devices
---> TPM Hardware Support

and press M (for Module) or Y (for build-in support)
Then press enter to get into the subdirectory and select
---> TPM Interface Specification 1.3 Interface / TPM 2.0 FIFO Interface - (SPI)
also again either via M or Y

If you want to use the TPM's HardwareNumberGenerator feature, please select
---> Hardware Random Number Generator Core support
---> TPM HW Random Number Generator support

Save and exit the menuconfig.

If this is too much hassle for you, you can also edit your .config file and
add these 5 lines to it.
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_TPM=m
CONFIG_TCG_TPM=m
CONFIG_TCG_TIS_CORE=m
CONFIG_TCG_TIS_SPI=m
CONFIG_SECURITYFS=y


Next step is to add our DeviceTree Overlay to our kernel sources.
Simply download letstrust-tpm-overlay.dts and copy it to arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/letstrust-tpm-overlay.dts
$ wget http://letstrust.de/uploads/letstrust-tpm-overlay.dts -O arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/letstrust-tpm-overlay.dts

Now build your kernel and device tree blob
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage modules dtbs overlays/letstrust-tpm.dtbo -j8
please note the additional overlays/letstrust-tpm.dtbo

Now deploy your kernel and modules (standard rpi way, see howto above)
$ mkdir mnt/fat32
$ mkdir mnt/ext4
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 mnt/fat32
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb2 mnt/ext4
$ sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=mnt/ext4 modules_install
$ sudo cp mnt/fat32/$KERNEL.img mnt/fat32/$KERNEL-backup.img
$ sudo cp arch/arm/boot/zImage mnt/fat32/$KERNEL.img
$ sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dtb mnt/fat32/
$ sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/*.dtb* mnt/fat32/overlays/
$ sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/README mnt/fat32/overlays/


Before you unmount your RPI SD Card, open mnt/fat32/config.txt
and ensure the line dtparam=spi=on isn't commented out (so no # at the beginning of the line)
and add
dtoverlay=letstrust-tpm
just beneath it.

More Details:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/device-tree.md
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/spi/README.md
Of course we uploaded a reference config.txt for you

Unmount your SD card,
$ sudo umount mnt/fat32
$ sudo umount mnt/ext4

Put it into your PI and boot your raspberry pi.

After booting, on a shell do
sudo modprobe tpm_tis_spi and /dev/tpm0 should be visible.
(We are looking into it why it does not autoload)

You can tryout the functionality of your TPM with
https://github.com/Infineon/eltt2


Happy Hacking



p.s.: If you just want to try it out without compiling:
Download boot-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2 (kernel, dtb, overlays) + modules-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2

Extract the boot-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2 into the boot partition of your rpi (e.g. sdb1) and the modules-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2 into the second partition.(e.g. sdb2)

$ wget http://www.letstrust.de/uploads/boot-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2 -O /tmp/boot-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2
$ wget http://www.letstrust.de/uploads/modules-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2 -O /tmp/modules-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 mnt/fat32
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb2 mnt/ext4
$ cd mnt/fat32
$ sudo tar -xvf /tmp/boot-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2
$ cd ../ext4
$ sudo tar -xvf /tmp/modules-v4.9.33.tpm.tar.bz2
$ cd ..
$ sudo umount /dev/sdb1
$ sudo umount /dev/sdb2

was lange währt wird endlich gut.

Neues Plug&Play Image und diesmal: Eines für alle RaspberryPi´s!

Es handelt sich hierbei um ein frisches "Jessie" Image vom 21.06.2017 mit dem Kernel 4.9.33.
Der Pinguin hat freundlicherweise ein ungestartetes Jessie wie in diesem Post beschrieben modifiziert.

Lade dir das Image herunter.
Entpacke es und spiele das Image auf eine SD-Karte.
(Hierbei wird alles auf der SD-Karte vernichtet!)

Einfacher gehts nun fast nicht mehr.

Ist das LetsTrust-TPM an der richtigen Stelle und vor dem Booten gesteckt solltest du mit:
ls /dev/tpm0
dich vergewissern, dass das TPM erkannt wurde.

Nun zum ersten Kommando zum TPM
Im home Verzeichnis findet ihr im Ordner "TPM-Tools" das eltt2.

Öffnet ein Terminal:
cd /TPM-Tools/eltt2/
make
sudo ./eltt2 -G 20

Ihr habt nun 20 Byte Zufallszahlen vom LetsTrust-TPM erhalten!

Bis bald!
