> This seems to fail reliably with my SPI TPM 2.0. I get EIO when trying to send large amounts of data, e.g. with TPM2_Hash, and subsequent tests seem to take an unusual amount of time. More analysis probably has to wait until November, since I am going to be in Prague next week.

Thanks Alex for testing these.. Did you get the chance to do any further
analysis ?

Thanks & Regards,
