Subject: [PATCH v6 8/8] doc: uefi: Update the capsule update related documentation
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2022 18:34:47 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220412130447.300574-9-sughosh.ganu@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220412130447.300574-1-sughosh.ganu@linaro.org>

Update the capsule update functionality related documentation to
refect the additional definitions that need to be made per platform
for supporting the capsule update feature.

+A few values need to be defined in the board file for performing the
+capsule update. These values are defined in the board file by
+initialisation of a structure which provides information needed for
+capsule updates. The following structures have been defined for
+containing the image related information
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct efi_fw_images {
+		efi_guid_t image_type_id;
+		u16 *fw_name;
+		u8 image_index;
+	};
+
+	struct efi_capsule_update_info {
+		const char *dfu_string;
+		struct efi_fw_images *images;
+	};
+
+
+A string is defined which is to be used for populating the
+dfu_alt_info variable. This string is used by the function
+set_dfu_alt_info. Instead of taking the variable from the environment,
+the capsule update feature requires that the variable be set through
+the function, since that is more robust. Allowing the user to change
+the location of the firmware updates is not a very secure
+practice. Getting this information from the firmware itself is more
+secure, assuming the firmware has been verified by a previous stage
+boot loader.
+
+The firmware images structure defines the GUID values, image index
+values and the name of the images that are to be updated through
+the capsule update feature. These values are to be defined as part of
+an array. These GUID values would be used by the Firmware Management
+Protocol(FMP) to populate the image descriptor array and also
+displayed as part of the ESRT table. The image index values defined in
+the array should be one greater than the dfu alt number that
+corresponds to the firmware image. So, if the dfu alt number for an
+image is 2, the value of image index in the fw_images array for that
+image should be 3. The dfu alt number can be obtained by running the
+following command::
+
+    dfu list
+
+When using the FMP for FIT images, the image index value needs to be
+set to 1.
+
 Finally, the capsule update can be initiated by rebooting the board.
