| Heinrich Schuchardt | a13b92a | 2023-01-22 11:27:10 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | command is used to create an EFI capsule file to be used by U-Boot for firmware |
| 17 | updates. |
| 18 | A capsule file may contain various types of firmware blobs which are to be |
| 19 | applied to the system. |
| 20 | If a capsule file is placed in the /EFI/CapusuleUpdate directory of the EFI |
| 21 | system partition, U-Boot will try to execute the update at the next reboot. |
| AKASHI Takahiro | 118a0ec | 2022-02-09 19:10:36 +0900 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | |
| 23 | Optionally, a capsule file can be signed with a given private key. |
| 24 | In this case, the update will be authenticated by verifying the signature |
| 25 | before applying. |
| 26 | |
| Heinrich Schuchardt | a13b92a | 2023-01-22 11:27:10 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | Additionally, an empty capsule file can be generated to indicate the acceptance |
| 28 | or rejection of firmware images by a governing component like an operating |
| 29 | system. |
| 30 | Empty capsules do not require an image-blob input file. |
