From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@xxxxxxxxx> Dear maintainers & communities, This patchset is created on top of Matt's patchset: 1.)https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/7/390 "[PATCH 1/2] efi: Move efi_status_to_err() to efi.h" 2.)https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/7/391 "[PATCH 2/2] efi: Capsule update support" It expose a misc char interface for user to upload the capsule binary and calling efi_capsule_update() API to pass the binary to EFI firmware. The steps to update efi firmware are: 1.) cat firmware.cap > /dev/efi_capsule_loader 2.) reboot Any failed upload error message will be returned while doing "cat" through Write() function call. Tested the code with Intel Quark Galileo platform. Thanks. --- changelog v5: * changed to new design without leveraging firmware_class API * use misc_char device interface instead of sysfs * error return through file Write() function call Kweh, Hock Leong (2): efi: export efi_capsule_supported() function symbol efi: a misc char interface for user to update efi firmware drivers/firmware/efi/Kconfig | 10 ++ drivers/firmware/efi/Makefile | 1 drivers/firmware/efi/capsule.c | 1 drivers/firmware/efi/efi-capsule-loader.c | 218 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 230 insertions(+) create mode 100644 drivers/firmware/efi/efi-capsule-loader.c -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
