The UEFI specification does not define the firmware versioning mechanism.
|
||||
EDK II reference implementation inserts the FMP Payload Header right before
|
||||
the payload. It coutains the fw_version and lowest supported version,
|
||||
EDK II reference implementation uses these information to implement the
|
||||
firmware versioning and anti-rollback protection, the firmware version and
|
||||
lowest supported version is stored into EFI non-volatile variable.
|
||||
|
||||
In U-Boot, the firmware versioning is implemented utilizing
|
||||
the FMP Payload Header same as EDK II reference implementation,
|
||||
reads the FMP Payload Header and stores the firmware version into
|
||||
"FmpStateXXXX" EFI non-volatile variable. XXXX indicates the image index,
|
||||
since FMP protocol handles multiple image indexes.
|
||||
|
||||
To add the fw_version into the FMP Payload Header,
|
||||
add --fw-version option in mkeficapsule tool.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ mkeficapsule \
|
||||
--index <index> --instance 0 \
|
||||
--guid <image GUID> \
|
||||
--fw-version 5 \
|
||||
<capsule_file_name>
|
||||
|
||||
If the --fw-version option is not set, FMP Payload Header is not inserted
|
||||
and fw_version is set as 0.
