I thought STM licensed a piece of Wave's software in order to perform some basic administration functions on their TPM. I thought this software was external to the TPM and would be loaded on the computer. When I think of integrated in the TPM, I think of "firmware" ( a term I find sometimes elusive) but which I believ means it is lierally part of the part and coded on the hardware and not something separate. Furthermore I thought the licensed piece was a segment of the overall truste suite that Wave sells for much more money.

I do think it is important to keep the terminology clear as a few different words convey an entirely different meaning and financial implications.

When it comes to Trust Zone, I don't know precisely what Wave contributed to trusted logic. They may have given away code that became firmware in a device whiuch enables the trusted transactions to occur. If they did that, it would be to have the wel linformed inside track on how to manage this from a server and infrastructure standpoint.
