NTC2PRECONFIG(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, let's talk about ntc2preconfig — it runs TPM2_Ntc2Preconfig. That's the whole vibe. And for the record, this is the NTC2PRECONFIG(1) page, living in the User Commands section of the manual, so you already know it's giving utility energy. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the very first thing this page hits you with is, and I quote, --version-string=v1045 is not a valid option. yes literally. that's the opening line. no cap. 💀

Then it drops this whole block on you, and I'm keeping it character for character because that's the assignment:

ntc2preconfig

Runs NTC2_PreConfig

-prequired - sets the required values for System P, write only -override
- permits individual register values, read-modify-write

Values to set, each is a hex byte, (default do not change) [-i2cLoc1_2
byte] [-i2cLoc3_4 byte] [-AltCfg byte] [-Direction byte] [-PullUp byte]
[-PushPull byte] [-CFG_A byte] [-CFG_B byte] [-CFG_C byte] [-CFG_D byte]
[-CFG_E byte] [-CFG_F byte] [-CFG_G byte] [-CFG_H byte] [-CFG_I byte]
[-CFG_J byte] [-IsValid byte]

Let me break that down so it actually lands, bestie:

• ntc2preconfig — this is the program we're talking about.
• Runs NTC2_PreConfig — that's what it does when you run it.
• -prequired — sets the required values for System P, and it's write only.
• -override — permits individual register values, read-modify-write style.
• Values to set — each one is a hex byte, and the default is do not change. so if you don't touch it, it stays exactly where it was. periodt. 💅

And here's the full roster of values you can set, each one a hex byte, each one defaulting to do-not-change:

• [-i2cLoc1_2 byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-i2cLoc3_4 byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-AltCfg byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-Direction byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-PullUp byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-PushPull byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_A byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_B byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_C byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_D byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_E byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_F byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_G byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_H byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_I byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-CFG_J byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.
• [-IsValid byte] — hex byte, default is do not change.

and THEN, because this page simply cannot stop being iconic, it says --version is not a valid option 🫠

and then it runs the whole thing back one more time, exactly like before:

ntc2preconfig

Runs NTC2_PreConfig

-prequired - sets the required values for System P, write only -override
- permits individual register values, read-modify-write

Values to set, each is a hex byte, (default do not change) [-i2cLoc1_2
byte] [-i2cLoc3_4 byte] [-AltCfg byte] [-Direction byte] [-PullUp byte]
[-PushPull byte] [-CFG_A byte] [-CFG_B byte] [-CFG_C byte] [-CFG_D byte]
[-CFG_E byte] [-CFG_F byte] [-CFG_G byte] [-CFG_H byte] [-CFG_I byte]
[-CFG_J byte] [-IsValid byte]

so yes: ntc2preconfig, it Runs NTC2_PreConfig, -prequired sets the required values for System P and is write only, -override permits individual register values read-modify-write, and every value is a hex byte with a default of do not change. twice. we love a repeat. 💖

okay that's the whole page bestie, go forth and configure 🌸 — this one's from ntc2preconfig, dated July 2017, and that's the sign-off 💜🦋
