This was written about many moons ago, you can search for Alpine Ridge

I have an AR v1 that I couldn't get to show up in Windows (11) Device Manager
I ran a single wire from the SPI-TPM pinout (3.3V pin) to the Force PWR (#1) pin on the AR card.
It works, no other connection needed.

I tested it by a direct thunderbolt connect to another TB machine and the TB shortcut appears when you make the TB connection.
TB 'networking' works.
That's all I tested, maybe useful to others.

Right. For Titan Ridge, people use a wire from pin 3 to Force Power but Alpine Ridge doesn't have enough voltage on Pin 3 so an external 3.3V source is required.
