Inspect FMSPC and platform type

These values are used to fetch the correct TCB collateral for SGX and TDX platforms through the DCAP Dashboard:

  • FMSPC: Family-Model-Stepping-Platform-Custom SKU identifier. This 12-character hex code is used to fetch the correct TCB (Trusted Computing Base) info for your platform.

  • Platform Type: Indicates which hardware version you're using. Common values include SGX v3, SGX v4, or TDX v4.

How to Use

Supported Environments

Your environment must support Intel SGX or TDX. The following configurations are supported:

  • GCP TDX configurations: c3-standard-* family (Check TDX VM instances)

  • Azure instance types: DCesv5, ECesv5 series with Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 Confidential VM

  • Self-hosted or other CSPs:

    • Ensure VM is running under the KVM hypervisor

    • Linux kernel version 6.7 or later

    • Expose ConfigFS at /sys/kernel/config/tsm/report . It must be possible to create a temporary directory under that path:

Prerequisites

Install Rust and select the default toolchain as nightly:

Retrieve FMSPC using Docker

1. Clone the repo

2. Build the Docker image

This will install all dependencies and compile the available tools into a Docker image.

3. Run the container

This runs the fmspc binary by default, which prints the 12-character FMSPC value for your current platform.

Sample output:

Inspect DCAP quote for platform type

1: Build the inspect binary

2. Run it with your quote file

3. Review the output

This runs the inspect example, which parses the quote and prints:

Debug tools

These are additional binaries that may be useful for debugging or manual testing during development.

attestation: Generates and verifies a TDX report.

fmspc: Fetches the FMSPC in a TDX-enabled VM.

inspect: Parses a SGX/TDX DCAP quote file to print the platform type, version, and FMSPC.

Common errors

Error
Explanation/fix

No such device or address

ConfigFS may not be available. Confirm your VM supports TDX and has /sys/kernel/config/tsm/report

Permission denied

Use sudo. Make sure you have access to /dev/tpm0 and are in the correct groups

Group tss not found

Install tpm2-tss, or manually create the group
