.SH NAME
|

mkeficapsule \- Generate EFI capsule file for U-Boot
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B mkeficapsule
|
|
.RI [ options ] " " [ image-blob ] " " capsule-file
|
|
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
The
|
|
.B mkeficapsule
|
|
command is used to create an EFI capsule file to be used by U-Boot for firmware
|
|
updates.
|
|
A capsule file may contain various types of firmware blobs which are to be
|
|
applied to the system.
|
|
If a capsule file is placed in the /EFI/CapusuleUpdate directory of the EFI
|
|
system partition, U-Boot will try to execute the update at the next reboot.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, a capsule file can be signed with a given private key.
|
|
In this case, the update will be authenticated by verifying the signature
|
|
before applying.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, an empty capsule file can be generated to indicate the acceptance
|
|
or rejection of firmware images by a governing component like an operating
|
|
system.
|
|
Empty capsules do not require an image-blob input file.
|
|
|
|
.B mkeficapsule
|
|
takes any type of image files when generating non empty capsules, including:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I raw image
|
|
format is a single binary blob of any type of firmware.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I FIT (Flattened Image Tree) image
|
|
format is the same as used in the new uImage format and allows for
|
|
multiple binary blobs in a single capsule file.
|
|
This type of image file can be generated by
|
|
.BR mkimage .
|
|
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
|
|
.TP

|
.BI "-g\fR,\fB --guid " guid-string
|
|
Specify guid for image blob type. The format is:
|
|
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
|
|
The first three elements are in little endian, while the rest
|
|
is in big endian. The option must be specified for all non empty and
|
|
image acceptance capsules
