To be honest, if you want a reliable set of unit tests then software is
always the way to go.  For instance if you look at this TPM engine
project:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/openssl_tpm2_engine.git/

All the tests are based on a software TPM emulator because you just
wouldn't be able to guarantee the state of the hardware even if you
even had access to it on the build system.
