TPM Column in a HCL List

General Discussion
1

So I ran qubes-hcl-report -s vault in my dom0’s terminal.

In a terminal’s output I got

HVM: Active
I/O MMU: Active
HAP/SLAT: Yes

TPM: Device present

Remapping: yes

but in a .yml

hvm:
‘yes’
iommu:
‘yes’
slat:
‘yes’

tpm:
’ ’

remap:
‘yes’

is generated. Can someone please explain what (exactly) does this mean? Is there any log with a more detailed info generated during the HCL report creating process?

Is this why TMP column in a HCL list is mostly empty, or with a value “unknown”? In which case this value is generated? When “yes” value will be generated?

I have searched through the forum but could find only info of a case in which .yml generates value “disabled” for TPM.

I hope this is the right category for this kind of discussion.

No idea but you can try to look at the source code to see if you spot what it means:

@enmus @deeplow the issue is down to the fact TPM variable gets populated to terminal but TPM_s is the variable that goes into the YAML. Ive created a pull request to fix it
