Hi,
I just got HP Z240 workstation (i7-6700 cpu) and it seems to lack SINIT ACM
embedded in the BIOS
I see this in one of the BIOS changelogs:
• Updates Intel TXT BIOS ACM to v1.3.
^ shouldn't this mean it is there?
tboot says:
TBOOT: checking if module is an SINIT for this platform...
TBOOT:
IIRC aren't the BIOS ACM and SINIT ACM separate? (And the BIOS may or may
not contain an SINIT ACM.)
Of course, there might also be a bug in HP's BIOS, in which whatever
pointer/register needs to be initialised isn't. Wouldn't be the first.

Ah!
I thought BIOS ACM = SINIT ACM embedded in BIOS...
Now I see it's a pre-BIOS code actually.
In any case, TXT works on this system when I load the SINIT module manually,
but I was hoping it would have it embedded in BIOS like the M900...
It's PITA because I use those systems to test server dep
BIOS-based SINIT ACM is a server TXT requirement, not a vPro requirement.
We contacting HP to find the reason why SINIT ACM is not embedded in BIOS for
their workstation SKU Z240

Thank you very much.
It's not a server so that's probably why they didn't bother.
Have a nice weekend
