Heinrich Schuchardt438cd702023-01-22 11:27:10 +010016command is used to create an EFI capsule file to be used by U-Boot for firmware
17updates.
18A capsule file may contain various types of firmware blobs which are to be
19applied to the system.
20If a capsule file is placed in the /EFI/CapusuleUpdate directory of the EFI
21system partition, U-Boot will try to execute the update at the next reboot.
AKASHI Takahiro7889a992022-02-09 19:10:36 +090022
23Optionally, a capsule file can be signed with a given private key.
24In this case, the update will be authenticated by verifying the signature
25before applying.
26
Heinrich Schuchardt438cd702023-01-22 11:27:10 +010027Additionally, an empty capsule file can be generated to indicate the acceptance
28or rejection of firmware images by a governing component like an operating
29system.
30Empty capsules do not require an image-blob input file.
