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
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ 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.
+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
-If that option is disabled, you'll need to set the OsIndications variable with::
+.. code-block:: console
=> 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.
