Overview

The TPM-Click board provides a TCG-standardised platform expanding trust from personal computing to connected devices. This board features the STMicroelectronics ST33KTPM2X, a STSAFE-TPM trusted platform module 2.0.

The STSAFE-TPM is a secure element product range providing authentication, confidentiality and platform integrity services to protect OEMs against cloning, counterfeiting, malware injection and unauthorised production. The STSAFE-TPM includes turnkey products compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) standards that provide services to protect the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of information and devices. The STSAFE-TPM devices are all Common Criteria (EAL4+) and FIPS certified.

The ST33KTPM2X device is a member of the ST STSAFE-TPM (trusted platform module) family of products, which offers a broad portfolio of standardised solutions for embedded, PC, mobile and computing applications. The ST33KTPM2X is a TPM 2.0-compliant device, that is easy to integrate in an embedded design, using the standards-compliant SPI and I2C interfaces to the host SoC, such as the ST STM32MP1.

TPM-Click Module

The TPM-Click module is fully compatible with the Click / mikroBUS protocol. The only exception is use of the +5V power supply, which is not supported by the TPM-Click.

The default configuration of the TPM-Click module is to use the I²C Bus for communications with the host. The speed of the I²C Bus speed is limited 1MHz. If a higher throughput is required, then the SPI bus can be chosen. To select the SPI, the following parts must be populated: on the TPM-Click module:

• R3-R6 soldered on

• C1 soldered on

• JP1 closed.

The following picture shows the TPM-Click module, in the default hardware configuration:
