| 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 | |
| Sughosh Ganu | b39405d | 2022-10-21 18:16:06 +0530 | [diff] [blame^] | 26 | Additionally, an empty capsule file can be generated for acceptance or |
| 27 | rejection of firmware images by a governing component like an Operating |
| 28 | System. The empty capsules do not require an image-blob input file. |
