| 13 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
| 14 | .B mkeficapsule | |
| 15 | command is used to create an EFI capsule file for use with the U-Boot | |
| 16 | EFI capsule update. | |
| 17 | A capsule file may contain various type of firmware blobs which | |
| 18 | are to be applied to the system and must be placed in the specific | |
| 19 | directory on the UEFI system partition. | |
| 20 | An update will be automatically executed at next reboot. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | Optionally, a capsule file can be signed with a given private key. | |
| 23 | In this case, the update will be authenticated by verifying the signature | |
| 24 | before applying. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | .B mkeficapsule | |
| 27 | supports two different format of image files: | |
| 28 | .TP | |
| 29 | .I raw image | |
| 30 | format is a single binary blob of any type of firmware. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | .TP | |
| 33 | .I FIT (Flattened Image Tree) image | |
| 34 | format is the same as used in the new uImage format and allows for | |
| 35 | multiple binary blobs in a single capsule file. | |
| 36 | This type of image file can be generated by | |
| 37 | .BR mkimage . | |
