With regard to the UEFI TCTI this may be useful:
https://github.com/flihp/tpm2-uefi

Also see the last slide from our LSS talk:
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Getting-Started-with-the-TPM2-Software-Stack-TSS2-Philip-Tricca-Intel-1.pdf

Finding a way to work this back into the tpm2-software GH org is in my
work queue. Feedback would be appreciated.

My goal is to implement the advance TPM capabilities (ex-policy based operation) in PreOS space in firmware/BIOS. With various reverse engineering method I now have  basic understanding of Auth/Handle and basic commands such as seal/unseal etc. I am still lost while reading  various spec/books and was searching for reference code and sandbox area to better understand the spec/implementation. I came across this wiki - https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools/blob/master/INSTALL.md and tried to play with tpm2-tss and tpm2-tools under Ubuntu. This seems helpful but still lot to digest for new-bee like meI need some help as below
