Hi Hal

Thank you so much for the advice. I am looking into it. Currently, as I dont
have a TPM chip on my motherboard, I am trying to use TPM emulator[1]. I
followed the instructions and installed it. I also have installed trousers.
But when I do a "sudo tpm_version", I get

Tspi_Context_Connect failed: 0x00003011 - layer=tsp, code=0011 (17),
> Communication failure

Do you have any idea, where the problem is? Am I doing something wrong with
Trousers or did I setup the emulator wrongly?

Thanks
Abhiram
