Now we can use mkeficapsule command instead of EDK-II's script
to create a signed capsule file. So update the instruction for
capsule authentication.

+Creating a capsule file
+***********************
+
+A capsule file can be created by using tools/mkeficapsule.
+To build this tool, enable::
+
+    CONFIG_TOOLS_MKEFICAPSULE=y
+    CONFIG_TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO=y
+
+Run the following command::
+
+    $ mkeficapsule \
+      --index 1 --instance 0 \
+      [--fit <FIT image> | --raw <raw image>] \
+      <capsule_file_name>
 
 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::
+Put capsule files under the directory mentioned above.
+Then, following the UEFI specification, you'll need to set
+the EFI_OS_INDICATIONS_FILE_CAPSULE_DELIVERY_SUPPORTED
+bit in 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
+Since U-boot doesn't currently support SetVariable at runtime, its value
+won't be taken over across the reboot. If this is the case, you can skip
+this feature check with the Kconfig option (CONFIG_EFI_IGNORE_OSINDICATIONS)
+set.
 
-**The efidebug command is should only be used during debugging/development.**
+Finally, the capsule update can be initiated by rebooting the board.

-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
-
-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::
+Run the following command to create and sign the capsule file::
 
-    $ mkeficapsule --raw <u-boot.bin> --index 1 <capsule_file_name>
+    $ mkeficapsule --monotonic-count 1 \
+      --private-key CRT.key \
