Thank You for quick reply. I will try to contact RDC, but please explain me one thing:

This is the second time that one Intel forum redirects me to another. Is that mean that D1559 SINIT ACM is available to only to privileged users and WWW (https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-trusted-execution-technology.html) is fooling us?

Or it is easier to redirect users to various places, then to report and fix errors in the WWW?

Hello,

I'm sorry but I do not understand Yours answer, please clarify:

Did You just said that SINIT ACM for D-1559 "seems to be" confidential, while SINIT ACMs for every other processor are not AND that web page I mentioned earlier gives incorrect information on purpose?

Best Regards,

Hello,

If there is any misunderstanding then I'm sorry. Below is the full questions with details - pleas let me know if anything there is unclear. By the way the image You attached last time opens to empty page on my PC - I assume that this is an error somewhere.

I am trying to use Intel TXT on D-1559 processor. The platform I use also supports TXT and has a TPM installed. I want to set up TXT with "tboot" using Gentoo linux (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Trusted_Boot), I already have some experience with this configurations as I am using it on my old laptop.

Tboot needs SINIT ACM module for given chipset and processor, that can be downloaded form:

https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-trusted-execution-technology.html

(there are attached ZIP files in the end of this page). According to "txt-stat" command I need 8th_9th_gen_i5_i7_SINIT_81.BIN file that should be in "8th_9th_gen_i5_i7_SINIT_81.zip". However after downloading and unpacking the zip file I get "6th_7th_gen_i5_i7-SINIT_79.BIN" ACM module and that is for different architecture/chipset ID. It seems to me that someone made a simple spelling mistake when packing files.

Could You please provide me that right ACM module or fix the Intel WWW?

Michael Widlok
