Hello, I'm using the kernel 6.1.80-ti-arm64-r50 provided by Debian Bullseye image for the beaglebone-ai-64 [1] (the same happen with a Yocto/Buildroot based image with the latest 6.9.x vanilla kernel) $ uname -a Linux BeagleBone 6.1.80-ti-arm64-r50 #1 bullseye SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri May 24 19:44:30 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux But I noticed that the i2c bus is probed after the IMA/EVM infra. What if a TPM is connected by i2c bus ? [ 1.306865] ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass! ...
