 MAEFICAPSULE 1 "May 2021"


 NAME
mkeficapsule - Generate EFI capsule file for U-Boot


 SYNOPSIS
 mkeficapsule  [ options ] " " [ image-blob ] " " capsule-file 

 "DESCRIPTION"
The
 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.

 mkeficapsule takes any type of image files when generating non empty capsules, including:


 raw image format is a single binary blob of any type of firmware.



 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
 mkimage . 

 "OPTIONS"



 "-g, --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



 "-i, --index " index Specify an image index



 "-I, --instance " instance Specify a hardware instance



For generation of firmware accept empty capsule
 --guid is mandatory


 "-A, --fw-accept " Generate a firmware acceptance empty capsule



 "-R, --fw-revert " Generate a firmware revert empty capsule



 "-o, --capoemflag " Capsule OEM flag, value between 0x0000 to 0xffff



 -h ", " --help Print a help message



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



 "-p, --private-key " private-key-file Specify signer's private key file in PEM



 "-c, --certificate " certificate-file Specify signer's certificate file in EFI certificate list format



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



 "-d, --dump_sig" Dump signature data into *.p7 file




 FILES

 /EFI/UpdateCapsule The directory in which all capsule files be placed
