Detailed Description

UEFI Firmware Management Protocol definition Firmware Management Protocol provides an abstraction for device to provide firmware management support. The base requirements for managing device firmware images include identifying firmware image revision level and programming the image into the device.

GetImageInfo() is the only required function. GetImage(), SetImage(), CheckImage(), GetPackageInfo(), and SetPackageInfo() shall return EFI_UNSUPPORTED if not supported by the driver.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL_CHECK_IMAGE)(IN EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL *This, IN UINT8 ImageIndex, IN CONST VOID *Image, IN UINTN ImageSize, OUT UINT32 *ImageUpdatable)

Checks if the firmware image is valid for the device.

This function allows firmware update application to validate the firmware image without invoking the SetImage() first.

Parameters

[in]ImageIndexA unique number identifying the firmware image(s) within the device. The number is between 1 and DescriptorCount.
[in]ImagePoints to the new image.
[in]ImageSizeSize of the new image in bytes.
[out]ImageUpdatableIndicates if the new image is valid for update. It also provides, if available, additional information if the image is invalid.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe image was successfully checked.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERThe Image was NULL.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThe operation is not supported.
EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATIONThe operation could not be performed due to an authentication failure.

Parameters
[in]ThisA pointer to the EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL instance.
[in,out]ImageInfoSizeA pointer to the size, in bytes, of the ImageInfo buffer. On input, this is the size of the buffer allocated by the caller. On output, it is the size of the buffer returned by the firmware if the buffer was large enough, or the size of the buffer needed to contain the image(s) information if the buffer was too small.
[in,out]ImageInfoA pointer to the buffer in which firmware places the current image(s) information. The information is an array of EFI_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_DESCRIPTORs.

If PackageVersion is not supported, the value is 0xFFFFFFFF. A value of 0xFFFFFFFE indicates that package version comparison is to be performed using PackageVersionName. A value of 0xFFFFFFFD indicates that package version update is in progress.
[out]PackageVersionNameA pointer to a pointer to a null-terminated string representing the package version name. The buffer is allocated by this function with AllocatePool(), and it is the caller's responsibility to free it with a call to FreePool().
Return values

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL_GET_PACKAGE_INFO)(IN EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL *This, OUT UINT32 *PackageVersion, OUT CHAR16 **PackageVersionName, OUT UINT32 *PackageVersionNameMaxLen, OUT UINT64 *AttributesSupported, OUT UINT64 *AttributesSetting)

Returns information about the firmware package.

This function returns package information.

Parameters
[in]ThisA pointer to the EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL instance.
[out]PackageVersionA version number that represents all the firmware images in the device. The format is vendor specific and new version must have a greater value than the old version. If PackageVersion is not supported, the value is 0xFFFFFFFF. A value of 0xFFFFFFFE indicates that package version comparison is to be performed using PackageVersionName. A value of 0xFFFFFFFD indicates that package version update is in progress.
[out]PackageVersionNameA pointer to a pointer to a null-terminated string representing the package version name. The buffer is allocated by this function with AllocatePool(), and it is the caller's responsibility to free it with a call to FreePool().
[out]PackageVersionNameMaxLenThe maximum length of package version name if device supports update of package version name. A value of 0 indicates the device does not support update of package version name. Length is the number of Unicode characters, including the terminating null character.
[out]AttributesSupportedPackage attributes that are supported by this device. See 'Package Attribute Definitions' for possible returned values of this parameter. A value of 1 indicates the attribute is supported and the current setting value is indicated in AttributesSetting. A value of 0 indicates the attribute is not supported and the current setting value in AttributesSetting is meaningless.
[out]AttributesSettingPackage attributes. See 'Package Attribute Definitions' for possible returned values of this parameter
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe package information was successfully returned.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThe operation is not supported.
typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL_SET_IMAGE)(IN EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL *This, IN UINT8 ImageIndex, IN CONST VOID *Image, IN UINTN ImageSize, IN CONST VOID *VendorCode, IN EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_UPDATE_IMAGE_PROGRESS Progress, OUT CHAR16 **AbortReason)

Updates the firmware image of the device.

This function updates the hardware with the new firmware image. This function returns EFI_UNSUPPORTED if the firmware image is not updatable. If the firmware image is updatable, the function should perform the following minimal validations before proceeding to do the firmware image update.

  • Validate the image authentication if image has attribute IMAGE_ATTRIBUTE_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED. The function returns EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION if the validation fails.
  • Validate the image is a supported image for this device. The function returns EFI_ABORTED if the image is unsupported. The function can optionally provide more detailed information on why the image is not a supported image.
  • Validate the data from VendorCode if not null. Image validation must be performed before VendorCode data validation. VendorCode data is ignored or considered invalid if image validation failed. The function returns EFI_ABORTED if the data is invalid.

VendorCode enables vendor to implement vendor-specific firmware image update policy. Null if the caller did not specify the policy or use the default policy. As an example, vendor can implement a policy to allow an option to force a firmware image update when the abort reason is due to the new firmware image version is older than the current firmware image version or bad image checksum. Sensitive operations such as those wiping the entire firmware image and render the device to be non-functional should be encoded in the image itself rather than passed with the VendorCode. AbortReason enables vendor to have the option to provide a more detailed description of the abort reason to the caller.

Parameters
[in]ThisA pointer to the EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL instance.
[in]ImageIndexA unique number identifying the firmware image(s) within the device. The number is between 1 and DescriptorCount.
[in]ImagePoints to the new image.
[in]ImageSizeSize of the new image in bytes.
[in]VendorCodeThis enables vendor to implement vendor-specific firmware image update policy. Null indicates the caller did not specify the policy or use the default policy.
[in]ProgressA function used by the driver to report the progress of the firmware update.
[out]AbortReasonA pointer to a pointer to a null-terminated string providing more details for the aborted operation. The buffer is allocated by this function with AllocatePool(), and it is the caller's responsibility to free it with a call to FreePool().
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe device was successfully updated with the new image.
EFI_ABORTEDThe operation is aborted.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERThe Image was NULL.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThe operation is not supported.
EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATIONThe operation could not be performed due to an authentication failure.
