Back to Capsule Based System Firmware Update

Platform DSC [Defines] Section

Add the following CAPSULE_ENABLE define to the [Defines] section with a default value of FALSE. The capsule-based system firmware update feature can be enabled by passing in -D CAPSULE_ENABLE flag on to the EDK II build command.

  #
  # Used to enable/disable capsule update features.  The default is FALSE for disabled.
  # Add -D CAPSULE_ENABLE to the build command line to enable capsule update features.
  # The build process generates a capsule update image along with the UEFI application 
  # CapsuleApp.efi.  These 2 files must be transferred to storage media to in order for 
  # a user to boot to UEFI Shell and use CapsuleApp.efi to submit the signed capsule.
  # Once the system is rebooted, the signed capsule is authenticated and the firmware is
  # update with the new system firmware version.
  #
  DEFINE CAPSULE_ENABLE = FALSE

Platform DSC [LibraryClasses] Sections

Make sure the following library mappings are in the [LibraryClasses] section. The path to the PlatformFlashAccessLib must be updated to match the path to the implementation provided in the previous step. These library mappings are required to support building the modules that provide the Firmware Management Protocol for the system firmware, the UEFI application to test capsule-based firmware update, along with the modules that authenticate a signed system firmware update capsule

Platform DSC [Pcds] Sections

  • Add the PCD PcdEdkiiSystemFirmwareImageDescriptor to the [PcdsDynamicExDefault] section with a value of {0x0} and a maximum size large enough to hold the EDKII_SYSTEM_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_DESCRIPTOR structure and its associated Unicode strings that are implemented in the .aslc file described here.

  • Add the PCD PcdSystemFmpCapsuleImageTypeIdGuid to the same [PcdsDynamicExDefault] section. This PCD is an array of one or more IMAGE_TYPE_ID_GUID values. In the simplest configuration, this PCD is set to the one IMAGE_TYPE_ID_GUID value from the the .aslc file described here. The PCD value is an array of 16-bytes.

  • Add the PCD PcdEdkiiSystemFirmwareFileGuid to the same [PcdsDynamicExDefault] section. This PCD is set to a GUID value that is an array of 16-bytes. The GUID value may be set to the same GUID value in the FileGuid statement from the System Firmware Update Configuration INI file described here. In the simplest configuration, this PCD is set in the DSC file to the FileGuid value from the INI file.

NOTE: The INI file syntax does support more complex capsule-base system firmware update scenarios where the capsule may contain multiple FFS files with update content to support multiple platforms or boards. For this use case, a platform module must detect the current platform or board and set the appropriate PcdEdkiiSystemFirmwareFileGuid value.

The example below uses a PcdEdkiiSystemFirmwareImageDescriptor size of 0x100 bytes, a single GUID value for PcdSystemFmpCapsuleImageTypeIdGuid, and a GUID value for PcdEdkiiSystemFirmwareFileGuid that matches FileGuid statement in the INI file.

!endif

Platform DSC [Components] Sections

Add the platform specific System Firmware Descriptor PEIM implemented in an earlier step to the [Components] section with the rest of the PEIMs. NOTE: The example below uses a PEI CPU architecture of IA32. Replace IA32 with PEI CPU Architecture for your platform.

[Components.IA32]
!if $(CAPSULE_ENABLE)
  # FMP image descriptor
  <Your Platform Package>/Feature/Capsule/SystemFirmwareDescriptor/SystemFirmwareDescriptor.inf
!endif

Update BdsDxe.inf <LibraryClasses> section to use the PKCS7 based FMP Authentication Library from the SecurityPkg. If CAPSULE_ENABLE is FALSE, then use the Null FMP Authentication Library. If CAPSULE_ENABLE is TRUE, then add the EsrtDxe module, the SystemFirmwareUpdateDxe module, and the UEFI Application CapsuleApp to the [Components] section. NOTE: The example below uses a DXE CPU architecture of X64. Replace X64 with DXE CPU Architecture for your platform.

Platform FDF PEI [FV] Section

Add the SystemFirmwareDescriptor PEIM implemented in a earlier step to the FV that contains other PEIMs so it is dispatched on every boot.

Platform FDF [FV] Section

Add the following [FV] sections to the platform FDF file to build the FVs that contains FFS files with the update payloads. These FVs are added to an FMP payload that is wrapped into a capsule that is signed using a PKCS7 certificate.

  • The FILE RAW statement with the # PcdEdkiiSystemFirmwareFileGuid comment must be updated with the same GUID value as the FileGuid statements from the System Firmware Update Configuration INI file described here. In the simplest configuration, there is only one FileGuid GUID value used in the INI file. If an INI file describes updates for multiple platforms or boards, then multiple FileGuid GUID value may be used. A FILE RAW statement for each FileGuid value must be provided in the [FV] section.
