% FUTILITY(1) Version 1.0 | Unified Firmware Utility Program
futility - Futility is a unified firmware tool that provides a variety of firmware peripheral functions and subcommands.
This is the unified firmware utility, which contains various of distinct verified boot tools as subcommands.
--vb1
: Use only vboot v1.0 binary formats.
--vb21
: Use only vboot v2.1 binary formats.
--debug
: Be noisy about what's going on.
create
: Create a keypair from an RSA .pem file.
dump_fmap
: Display FMAP contents from a firmware image.
dump_kernel_config
: Prints the kernel command line.
flash
: Manage AP SPI flash properties and writeprotect configuration.
gbb, gbb_utility
: Manipulate the Google Binary Block (GBB). See cmd_gbb_utility for detailed information.
Examples: futility gbb --get $FILE (dut) futility gbb --get --flash (host) futility gbb --get --servo (host) futility gbb --set --flags=$FLAGS --servo
gscvd
: Create RO verification structure.
help
: Show a bit of help.
load_fmap
: Replace the contents of specified FMAP areas.
pcr
: Simulate a TPM PCR extension operation.
read
: Read AP firmware.
Examples: (dut) futility read $IMG_OUT (host) futility read --servo $IMG_OUT (host) futility read --ccd_without_servod -r RO_VPD $IMG_OUT
show
: Display the content of various binary components.
sign
: Sign / resign various binary components.
update
: Update system firmware.
Examples: (dut) futility update -i $IMG (host) futility update --wp 0 -i $IMG --servo (host) futility update --force -i $IMG --servo
vbutil_firmware
: Verified boot firmware utility.
vbutil_kernel
: Creates, signs, and verifies the kernel partition.
vbutil_key
: Wraps RSA keys with vboot headers.
vbutil_keyblock
: Creates, signs, and verifies a keyblock.
verify
: Verify the signatures of various binary components. This does not verify GSCVD contents.
version
: Show the futility source revision and build date.
