Require Firmware Update; preferrably EFI_UPDATE_CAPSULE #69

Closed glikely closed 3 years ago

glikely commented 3 years ago

I'd like to add a requirement for EBBR platforms to implement a firmware update mechanism, and if updates are performed in-band for it specifically to be EFI_UPDATE_CAPSULE using the Firmware Management Protocol (FMP) Update Capsule structure. The two major firmware update services, fwupd and Windows Update, both use ESRT and the Firmware Management Protocol Update Capsule structure to automatically download and install updates.

I've drafted some text which I'll post as a pull request for comments
