Does only the device have to be present or also the file? Should we check only the binary or also the initrd?
I don't follow on the initrd. The whole paragraph is copied verbatim from the EFI spec. Basically you need a valid boot option (with priority) that points to the ESP partition your capsule is. Akashi's code is also doing the right thing following the spec.
I *guess* that Heinrich thinks of all the device paths contained in an boot option, including "initrd" that you added a support for. IIRC, all the paths in one option must point to the same device. (So no for Heinrich's concern?)

+within BootOrder that refers to a device found to be present. Boot variables +in BootOrder but referring to devices not present are ignored when determining +active boot variable. +Before starting a capsule update make sure your capsules are installed in the +correct ESP partition or set BootNext.
+Performing the update +*********************
+Since U-boot doesn't currently support SetVariable at runtime there's a Kconfig +option (CONFIG_EFI_IGNORE_OSINDICATIONS) to disable the OsIndications variable +check. If that option is enabled just copy your capsule to \EFI\UpdateCapsule.
+If that option is disabled, you'll need to set the OsIndications variable with::
- => setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -v OsIndications =0x04
+Finally, the capsule update can be initiated either by rebooting the board, +which is the preferred method, or by issuing the following command::
- => efidebug capsule disk-update
+**The efidebug command is should only be used during debugging/development.**
+Enabling Capsule Authentication +*******************************
+The UEFI specification defines a way of authenticating the capsule to +be updated by verifying the capsule signature. The capsule signature +is computed and prepended to the capsule payload at the time of +capsule generation. This signature is then verified by using the +public key stored as part of the X509 certificate. This certificate is +in the form of an efi signature list (esl) file, which is embedded as +part of U-Boot.
+The capsule authentication feature can be enabled through the +following config, in addition to the configs listed above for capsule +update::
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_AUTHENTICATE=y
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_KEY_PATH=<path to .esl cert>
+The public and private keys used for the signing process are generated +and used by the steps highlighted below::
- Install utility commands on your host
* OPENSSL
* efitools
- Create signing keys and certificate files on your host
$ openssl req -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj /CN=CRT/ \
-keyout CRT.key -out CRT.crt -nodes -days 365
$ cert-to-efi-sig-list CRT.crt CRT.esl
$ openssl x509 -in CRT.crt -out CRT.cer -outform DER
$ openssl x509 -inform DER -in CRT.cer -outform PEM -out CRT.pub.pem
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -out CRT.pfx -inkey CRT.key -in CRT.crt
$ openssl pkcs12 -in CRT.pfx -nodes -out CRT.pem
+The capsule file can be generated by using the GenerateCapsule.py +script in EDKII::
- $ ./BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/GenerateCapsule -e -o \
<capsule_file_name> --monotonic-count <val> --fw-version \
<val> --lsv <val> --guid \
e2bb9c06-70e9-4b14-97a3-5a7913176e3f --verbose \
--update-image-index <val> --signer-private-cert \
/path/to/CRT.pem --trusted-public-cert \
/path/to/CRT.pub.pem --other-public-cert /path/to/CRT.pub.pem \
<u-boot.bin>
+Place the capsule generated in the above step on the EFI System +Partition under the EFI/UpdateCapsule directory
+Testing on QEMU +***************
+Currently, support has been added on the QEMU ARM64 virt platform for +updating the U-Boot binary as a raw image when the platform is booted +in non-secure mode, i.e. with CONFIG_TFABOOT disabled. For this +configuration, the QEMU platform needs to be booted with +'secure=off'. The U-Boot binary placed on the first bank of the NOR +flash at offset 0x0. The U-Boot environment is placed on the second +NOR flash bank at offset 0x4000000.
+The capsule update feature is enabled with the following configuration +settings::
- CONFIG_MTD=y
- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD=y
- CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS=y
- CONFIG_CMD_DFU=y
- CONFIG_DFU_MTD=y
- CONFIG_PCI_INIT_R=y
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_ON_DISK=y
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT=y
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE=y
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE_RAW=y
- CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_FMP_HEADER=y
+In addition, the following config needs to be disabled(QEMU ARM specific)::
- CONFIG_TFABOOT
+The capsule file can be generated by using the tools/mkeficapsule::
- $ mkeficapsule --raw <u-boot.bin> --index 1 <capsule_file_name>
- Executing the boot manager
