Test fwupd Capsule On Disk support #225

Open jackpot51 opened 3 years ago

jackpot51 commented 3 years ago

After https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases/tag/1.6.2, fwupd now supports Capsule On Disk. We should test doing firmware updates using that.

Now that we have the new coreboot and edk2 releases, what would be the next steps for this?

crawfxrd commented 1 year ago

Adding EsrtFmpDxe and adding a skeleton device FMP to edk2 causes the ESRT to be published. This shows up in sysfs under /sys/firmware/efi/esrt and will also be listed by fwupd as "UEFI ESRT device".

Capsules can be generated using edk2's Python script:

GenerateCapsule -e --guid <FMP_GUID> --fw-version 0x1 --lsv 0 -o firmware.cap firmware.bin

UEFI requires the firmware version be represented as a u32.

This can then be added to a cabinet for fwupd to use:

rm -f firmware.jcat
jcat-tool self-sign --kind sha256 firmware.jcat firmware.cap
jcat-tool self-sign --kind sha256 firmware.jcat firmware.metainfo.xml
gcab -c firmware.cab firmware.cap firmware.jcat firmware.metainfo.xml
fwupdmgr get-details firmware.cab
fwupdmgr local-install firmware.cab <FMP_GUID>
