| |
| .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 . |
| |
