Use TPM for Encryption password?

Hi all,
  I just installed an encrypted distro of arch and was wondering if it's possible to use the TPM to bypass entering my encryption passphrase at boot?

TYIA,
Kris

I have, I glared right over the fact that TPM 2.0 isn't supported via those steps

My motherboard doesn't seem to support downgrading the TPM to 1.2.  Do you have any suggested reading on TPM 2.0 with Arch Linux?  I've found a few good articles so far but nothing that's concrete or stable.

The tpm2 services and tools should be in the AUR, but how exactly they are used, you might have to adopt from those articles for other distributions
