TPM interface Verification IP
The platform interface to a Trusted Platform Module: locality, register access and command and response flow.
TPM interface verification IP
The TPM interface connects Trusted Platform Modules to the host over SPI, I2C or LPC for platform security.
Lumina VIP for TPM interface covers TPM 2.0 over SPI, I2C and LPC, as published by Trusted Computing Group. It comes as verification IP, built for Lumina, so the same components run in simulation and report their results in one place.
What the TPM interface VIP covers.
Protocol
- TPM register access over SPI, I2C and LPC
- Localities, flow control and wait states
- Command and response FIFOs
Checks and error injection
- Access register and locality arbitration
- Status, burst count and interrupt registers
- Aborts, wrong localities and protocol errors
What it checks
- Bit and byte timing in every speed mode
- Addressing, commands and responses
- Multi-controller arbitration where defined
- Error and timeout conditions
Verification IP capabilities
- Active and passive agents for every protocol role, set per instance
- Bus widths, timing and optional features set by parameters, and changeable while a test runs
- A sequence library from basic directed traffic to constrained-random stress
- Error injection, static or on the fly, with checks that the expected error was seen
- Protocol checks that run in real time, each tied to a rule of the specification
- Scoreboards that check data end to end
- Throughput, latency and utilisation statistics for each interface
- Callbacks at each stage for your own checks and stimulus
- UVM register model adapters for protocols that carry register access
- Transaction logs and messages linked to the waveform for debug
Why Lumina VIP.
- Fast TPM interface testbench bring-up: connect the agents, pick a test and run
- Every failure names the rule it broke and the transaction that broke it
- Protocol coverage merges with your design coverage in one database
- Readable SystemVerilog and UVM source your team can extend
- Runs natively in Lumina Sim, with no wrappers and no separate compile
- Results structured for engineers and AI agents alike
Verification components.
Each component works on its own or together with the others in one environment, in active or passive mode.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Lumina VIP for TPM interface?
Lumina VIP for TPM interface is a set of verification products for designs that use TPM interface: verification IP. The platform interface to a Trusted Platform Module: locality, register access and command and response flow.
Which TPM interface versions does it support?
TPM 2.0 over SPI, I2C and LPC, as published by Trusted Computing Group. If you need another version or option, tell us which one.
Which verification components are included?
Host, TPM device and Passive monitor. Each one can be used on its own or together with the others in one environment.
What language and methodology does it use?
The verification IP and models are written in SystemVerilog with UVM, as readable source your team can extend.
How does it work with Lumina?
It runs in Lumina Sim beside your RTL. Protocol coverage merges into the same database as your own coverage, and every violation names the rule it broke and the transaction that broke it.
Which tests come with it?
Directed tests for each feature of the specification. Constrained-random tests across configurations and traffic mixes. Error-injection tests that check how the design recovers. A functional coverage model mapped to the specification. Regression lists ready to run in Lumina. For this protocol family the tests focus on: every mode and speed in scope, multi-device topologies, timing at the edges of the specification and protocol and line errors.
What is delivered?
Readable source of every component. The test suite and its coverage model. An example environment connected to a sample design. User guide, integration guide and release notes. Scripts to run the examples in Lumina.
