…ig file Add support for specifying the parameters needed for capsule generation through a config file, instead of passing them through command-line. Parameters for more than a single capsule file can be specified, resulting in generation of multiple capsules through a single invocation of the command. The config file can be passed to the mkeficapsule tool in such manner $ ./tools/mkeficapsule -f <path/to/the/config/file> Signed-off-by: Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu@linaro.org>
Add create_multi_payload_fwbin() to bundle up to 16 firmware images into a single capsule file. Only normal blob payloads are supported for now; signing and the config file parser integration will follow in later patches. Signed-off-by: Balaji Selvanathan <balaji.selvanathan@oss.qualcomm.com>
Extend the config file parser to automatically group multiple payloads with the same capsule filename into a single multi-payload capsule. The parser now operates in two phases: 1. Parse all payload entries and group by capsule filename 2. Generate capsules based on grouping: - Single payload: use existing generation path - Multiple normal payloads: create multi-payload capsule - Mixed/non-normal types: generate separate capsules with warning This allows users to specify multiple firmware images for the same capsule file in the config, and the tool will automatically create an optimized multi-payload capsule when possible. Example config usage: [capsule1] image-guid: <guid1> hardware-instance: 0 image-index: 1 payload: payload1.bin capsule: update.capsule [capsule1] image-guid: <guid2> hardware-instance: 0 image-index: 2 payload: payload2.bin capsule: update.capsule This will generate a single update.capsule containing both payloads.

Add signing support to create_multi_payload_fwbin(), which previously rejected any payload with a private key and certificate. Per the UEFI FMP capsule spec, signing is a per-image property, so each payload in a multi-payload capsule can be signed independently. Each signed payload gets its own authentication header and PKCS#7 signature written after its image header, reusing the existing create_auth_data()/free_sig_data() helpers from the single-payload path. Unsigned payloads in the same capsule are unaffected. Signed-off-by: Balaji Selvanathan <balaji.selvanathan@oss.qualcomm.com>
The UEFI capsule can now be generated by specifying the capsule parameters through a config file. Highlight these changes in the documentation. Also document that payloads sharing the same capsule filename are automatically grouped into a single multi-payload capsule, and that payloads in such a group can be individually signed, with an example config demonstrating both behaviours.

Add a config file that drives capsule generation through the mkeficapsule config-file parser, and enable it on the sandbox variant. These capsules are used to test the capsule update feature on sandbox. Fix Test05, which had two identical blocks (same image-guid and image-index) that would now silently merge into an unintended 2-payload capsule under the parser's new grouping-by-filename behavior; give the second block its own index and GUID so Test05 instead demonstrates multi-payload grouping on purpose. Add Test116 to cover a multi-payload capsule with a signed first payload and an unsigned second payload, and Test06/Test15 to cover the same raw-image update path (rather than the existing FIT-image examples), with Test06 unsigned and Test15 signing each payload independently.

Add logic to generate capsules through a config file while testing the EFI capsule update functionality, and enable this on the sandbox variant. Signed-off-by: Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Balaji Selvanathan <balaji.selvanathan@oss.qualcomm.com>
Add pytest coverage that exercises a real multi-payload capsule update end-to-end: a single capsule file containing two raw-image payloads is applied and both target regions (U-Boot binary and U-Boot environment) are verified to have been updated from one capsule apply. test_efi_capsule_fw6 covers the unsigned case and test_efi_capsule_auth6 covers the signed case, where each payload in the capsule is signed independently.

This series adds support for bundling multiple firmware images into a
single UEFI capsule, driven through mkeficapsule's config file.
