Guy: I would follow Andrew's advice and investigate the use of Secure Capsule to implement SPI Flash Update. This is becoming the standard, and has a number of advantages (signed, OS independent, platform independent, compatible with fwupd.org & Windows Update workflow).
General information is on the TianoCore wiki: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Capsule-Based-Firmware-Update-and-Firmware-Recovery There is a capsule-based update app in EDK II: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/MdeModulePkg/Application/CapsuleApp Thanks ... br --- Brian Richardson -- Director, Firmware Ecosystem Development brian.richard...@intel.com -- @intel_brian (Twitter & WeChat) https://software.intel.com/en-us/meet-the-developers/evangelists/team/brian-richardson -----Original Message----- From: edk2-devel <edk2-devel-boun...@lists.01.org> On Behalf Of Andrew Fish Sent: Tuesday, December 4, 2018 1:35 AM To: Guy Raviv <guyrav...@gmail.com> Cc: edk2-devel@lists.01.org Subject: Re: [edk2] Creating my own flashing app On a secure platform you likely need to update using a secure capsule. https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Capsule-Based-Firmware-Update-and-Firmware-Recovery The capsule is the standard method, and then all the FLASH update code is part of the ROM. Generally since an EFI platform has NVRAM services in the NOR FLASH there is an SPI driver to write to FLASH. So if your platform does not secure FLASH you can use the services from the ROM.
