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 | |
d9612f44 | 27 | takes any type of image files, including: |
118a0ecd AT |
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 . | |
38 | ||

39 | .PP |
40 | If you want to use other types than above two, you should explicitly | |
41 | specify a guid for the FMP driver. | |

54 | Indicate that the blob is a raw image file | |
55 | ||
56 | .TP | |
57 | .BI "-g\fR,\fB --guid " guid-string | |
58 | Specify guid for image blob type. The format is: | |
59 | xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | |
