Ramsey2.........Exactly.

"It seems that IBM may be phasing the Atmel TPM out. In that case the Atmel TPM runs with IBM TPM software, so I doubt TPM software development was an issue for Atmel in that implementation."

Atmel didn't have to supply any software for the
IBM implementation as IBM supplied everything apart
from the TPM.
So Atmel would have to start from scratch or bundle
Wave's off the shelf software as ST Micro has.
As NSM will also use Wave's software with the NTRU
TSS it would seem extremely unlikely Atmel will
want to develop software themselves....i give it
about a 5% chance.
If they did they would be at a disadvantage to
NSM & ST Micro as their CSP would only work with
NTRU's TSS.
