enables updating the U-Boot image using the UEFI firmware management
protocol (FMP). The capsules are not passed to the firmware through
the UpdateCapsule runtime service. Instead, capsule-on-disk
-functionality is used for fetching the capsule from the EFI System
-Partition (ESP) by placing the capsule file under the
-\EFI\UpdateCapsule directory.
-
-The directory \EFI\UpdateCapsule is checked for capsules only within the
-EFI system partition on the device specified in the active boot option
-determined by reference to BootNext variable or BootOrder variable processing.
-The active Boot Variable is the variable with highest priority BootNext or
-within BootOrder that refers to a device found to be present. Boot variables
-in BootOrder but referring to devices not present are ignored when determining
-active boot variable.
-Before starting a capsule update make sure your capsules are installed in the
-correct ESP partition or set BootNext.

+Creating a capsule file
+***********************
+
+A capsule file can be created by using tools/mkeficapsule.
+To build this tool, enable::
+
+ CONFIG_TOOLS_MKEFICAPSULE=y
+ CONFIG_TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO=y
+
+Run the following command
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ mkeficapsule \
+ --index 1 --instance 0 \
+ [--fit <FIT image> | --raw <raw image>] \
+ <capsule_file_name>
Performing the update
*********************
-Since U-boot doesn't currently support SetVariable at runtime there's a Kconfig
-option (CONFIG_EFI_IGNORE_OSINDICATIONS) to disable the OsIndications variable
-check. If that option is enabled just copy your capsule to \EFI\UpdateCapsule.
+Put capsule files under the directory mentioned above.
+Then, following the UEFI specification, you'll need to set
+the EFI_OS_INDICATIONS_FILE_CAPSULE_DELIVERY_SUPPORTED
+bit in OsIndications variable with
-If that option is disabled, you'll need to set the OsIndications variable with::
+.. code-block:: console
=> setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -v OsIndications =0x04
-Finally, the capsule update can be initiated either by rebooting the board,
-which is the preferred method, or by issuing the following command::
-
- => efidebug capsule disk-update
+Since U-boot doesn't currently support SetVariable at runtime, its value
+won't be taken over across the reboot. If this is the case, you can skip
+this feature check with the Kconfig option (CONFIG_EFI_IGNORE_OSINDICATIONS)
+set.
-**The efidebug command is should only be used during debugging/development.**
+Finally, the capsule update can be initiated by rebooting the board.
Enabling Capsule Authentication
*******************************
is computed and prepended to the capsule payload at the time of
capsule generation. This signature is then verified by using the
public key stored as part of the X509 certificate. This certificate is
-in the form of an efi signature list (esl) file, which is embedded as
-part of U-Boot.
+in the form of an efi signature list (esl) file, which is embedded in
+a device tree.
The capsule authentication feature can be enabled through the
following config, in addition to the configs listed above for capsule
update::
CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_AUTHENTICATE=y
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_KEY_PATH=<path to .esl cert>
The public and private keys used for the signing process are generated
-and used by the steps highlighted below::

-The capsule file can be generated by using the GenerateCapsule.py
-script in EDKII::
+.. code-block:: console
- $ ./BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/GenerateCapsule -e -o \

- /path/to/CRT.pub.pem --other-public-cert /path/to/CRT.pub.pem \
- <u-boot.bin>
+ $ mkeficapsule --monotonic-count 1 \
+ --private-key CRT.key \
+ --certificate CRT.crt \
+ --index 1 --instance 0 \
+ [--fit <FIT image> | --raw <raw image>] \
+ <capsule_file_name>
-Place the capsule generated in the above step on the EFI System
-Partition under the EFI/UpdateCapsule directory
+4. Insert the signature list into a device tree in the following format::
-Testing on QEMU
-***************
+ {
+ signature {
+ capsule-key = [ <binary of signature list> ];
+ }
+ ...
+ }
-Currently, support has been added on the QEMU ARM64 virt platform for
-updating the U-Boot binary as a raw image when the platform is booted
-in non-secure mode, i.e. with CONFIG_TFABOOT disabled. For this
-configuration, the QEMU platform needs to be booted with
-'secure=off'. The U-Boot binary placed on the first bank of the NOR
-flash at offset 0x0. The U-Boot environment is placed on the second
-NOR flash bank at offset 0x4000000.
+You can do step-4 manually with

+ $ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o signature.dtbo signature.dts
+ $ fdtoverlay -i orig.dtb -o new.dtb -v signature.dtbo
-In addition, the following config needs to be disabled(QEMU ARM specific)::
+where signature.dts looks like::
- CONFIG_TFABOOT
-
-The capsule file can be generated by using the tools/mkeficapsule::
-
- $ mkeficapsule --raw <u-boot.bin> --index 1 <capsule_file_name>
+ &{/} {
+ signature {
+ capsule-key = /incbin/("CRT.esl");
+ };
+ };
