[edk2-devel] Help getting Capsule-On-Disk working (CapsuleOnDiskLoadPei and gEdkiiPeiBootInCapsuleOnDiskModePpiGuid)

[Rebecca Cran]

I'm trying to get capsule-on-disk support added to some firmware, and 
while I can get the CoD via NVRAM method working (where fwupd-efi runs 
as a boot option) I'm struggling to get the native CoD process working 
where I'm expecting to be able to see a progress bar as firmware is 
flashed. At the moment I see OsIndications being set correctly, but I'm 
missing some driver to handle it.


Should I be using CapsuleOnDiskLoadPei? If so, where is 
gEdkiiPeiBootInCapsuleOnDiskModePpiGuid supposed to get produced? I 
don't see any drivers that PRODUCES it - is each platform supposed to 
implement it?

I'm working on an AArch64 system where I'm pretty sure memory isn't 
retained between reboots so Capsule-In-Memory won't work.

Hi Rebecca,

Yes, you are right. CapsuleOnDiskLoadPei should be used, and platform code is supposed to produce the gEdkiiPeiBootInCapsuleOnDiskModePpiGuid.
Please refer this guide: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/UEFI_CapsuleOnDisk?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-enable-capsule-on-disk

BR,
Wei
