+Capsule Generation through binman
+*********************************
+
+Support has also been added to generate capsules during U-Boot build
+through binman. This requires the platform's DTB to be populated with
+the capsule entry nodes for binman. The capsules then can be generated
+by specifying the capsule parameters as properties in the capsule
+entry node.
+
+Check the test/py/tests/test_efi_capsule/capsule_gen_binman.dts file
+as reference for how a typical binman node for capsule generation
+looks like. For generating capsules as part of the platform's build, a
+capsule node would then have to be included into the platform's
+devicetree.
+
+A typical binman node for generating a capsule would look like::
+
+       capsule {
+               filename = "u-boot.capsule";
+               efi-capsule {
+                       image-index = <0x1>;
+                       image-guid = "09d7cf52-0720-4710-91d1-08469b7fe9c8";
+
+                       u-boot {
+                       };
+               };
+       };
+
+In the above example, a capsule file named u-boot.capsule will be
+generated with u-boot.bin as it's input payload. The capsule
+generation parameters like image-index and image-guid are being
+specified as properties. Similarly, other properties like the private
+and public key certificate can be specified for generating signed
+capsules. Refer :ref:`etype_efi_capsule` for documentation about the
+efi-capsule binman entry type, which describes all the properties that
+can be specified.
