    Linux has several TPM emulators. This one is probably the most popular. But here's another for TPM 1.2 only. The main use-case is to emulate TPMs for use with Virtual Machine guests.

    Emulate the TPM (via https://github.com/PeterHuewe/tpm-emulator). I think I should create a different post for this if I am successful).
