---------------------------------------- Bug #429: I2C CR50 TPM fails to initialize https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/429
* Author: Matt DeVillier * Status: New * Priority: High * Target version: none * Start date: 2022-10-17 * Affected versions: 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, master ---------------------------------------- On several (but not all) Chromebook platforms which use an I2C interface for the CR50 TPM, the TPM fails to initialize due to I2C transaction errors.
The following boards with I2C CR50 TPM are known to be affected: google/brya (banshee variant confirmed, others untested) google/drallion google/poppy (soraka and nautilus variants) google/reef (all variants)
The following boards with I2C CR50 TPM are known to be working: google/eve google/guybrush google/kahlee google/zork
cbmem shows the following, with the i2c transactions repeating 100x until failing. This causes a significant increase in boot time.
