.SH NAME
mkeficapsule \- Generate EFI capsule file for U-Boot

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mkeficapsule
.RI [ options ] " " [ image-blob ] " " capsule-file

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B mkeficapsule
command is used to create an EFI capsule file for use with the U-Boot
EFI capsule update.
A capsule file may contain various type of firmware blobs which
are to be applied to the system and must be placed in the specific
directory on the UEFI system partition.
An update will be automatically executed at 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 for acceptance or
rejection of firmware images by a governing component like an Operating
System. The 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

.BR --guid
is mandatory
.TP
.BI "-A\fR,\fB --fw-accept "
Generate a firmware acceptance empty capsule

.TP
.BI "-R\fR,\fB --fw-revert "
Generate a firmware revert empty capsule

.TP
.BR -h ", " --help
Print a help message

.PP
With signing,
.BR --private-key ", " --certificate " and " --monotonic-count
are all mandatory.

.TP
.BI "-p\fR,\fB --private-key " private-key-file

.TP
.BI "-c\fR,\fB --certificate " certificate-file
Specify signer's certificate file in EFI certificate list format

.TP
.BI "-m\fR,\fB --monotonic-count " count
Specify a monotonic count which is set to be monotonically incremented
at every firmware update.

.TP
.B "-d\fR,\fB --dump_sig"
Dump signature data into *.p7 file

.PP
.SH FILES
