It explains exaclty what's going on. The tl;dr version is that the storage is up only when the supplicant is running. > If you let me know the HW platform details, I am happy to work with you to enable/integrate > fTPM TA on that HW platform. > Thanks, The hardware i am waiting for for has an eMMC RPMB. In theory the U-Boot supplicant support will be there so i'll be able to test it. Thanks /Ilias
