Installing the IBM Software

Do all of following as root in your terminal, e.g., sudo bash.

TPM Simulator - currently ibmtpm1119

mkdir /opt/ibmtpm1119
copy ibmtpm1119.tar to /opt/ibmtpm1119

tar -xvf ibmtpm1119.tar

cd src
make

cd /opt
ln -s ibmtpm1119 ibmtpm

Note for 32 bit Linux

This will fail on 32 bit Linux because of a mismatch in RADIX_BITS (assumed to be 64 for Linux). To fix this edit Implementation.h and change RADIX_BITS to 32. Once changed re-run make and setup a symlink as outlined above.

IBM TSS software stack - currently ibmtss1119

mkdir /opt/ibmtss1119
mv ibmtss1119.tar /opt/ibmtss1119

tar -xvf ibmtss1119.tar

cd utils

make

cd /opt
ln -s ibmtss1119 ibmtss

Once complete test the install by starting the simulator in a terminal new window.

sudo /opt/ibmtpm/src/tpm_server

and then execute /opt/ibmtss/utils/reg.sh -a which runs all of the tests.

Setting file permissions

Set access permissions to all files:

chmod 755 -R /opt/ibmt*

When this is complete you can now exit from the root shell.

Setting paths

To run the code without requiring root or sudo, set environment variables:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ibmtss/utils
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ibmtss/utils

If you are using a hardware TPM then set the following:

export TPM_INTERFACE_TYPE=dev

If not using a hardware TPM then set the simulator:

export TPM_INTERFACE_TYPE=socsim
