Runtime Dependencies

The necessary TPM 2.0 support was added to the 4.9 kernel, so this is the earliest supported version.

The kernel must have been compiled with support for USB (USB_SUPPORT=y), SPI (SPI=y), and TPM 2.0 (TCG_TPM=y|m and TCG_TIS_CORE=y|m).

The TCG_TIS_SPI kernel module is also required. Most Linux distributions do not include it, so it must be built separately. Further, kernels 4.9 through 4.11 contain a buggy version anyway.

This repo contains the source for a working version of TCG_TIS_SPI to make out-of-tree building easy.
