mstconfig create_conf Command

The create_conf command assists in creating an NV configuration file that can be used for LifeCycle
and Secure Firmware Updates purposes. The flow for creating a configuration file is the same as the
flow for xml2bin. The user must provide the command with an XML file containing the required
configurations and their values. The command can sign the configuration file, if the user provides a
private key and UUID. The sign result will be appended to the end of the configuration file. If no private
key and UUID are provided, the tool will compute an SHA256 digest and append it to the file. The
generated signature will be used by the firmware for authentication purposes.

Currently the only supported NV configurations types are CS tokens, Debug tokens and MLNX
ID which are used for Secure Firmware Updates. Additionally, it supports two RSA keys of 2048
or 4096 bits length.

The NV configurations files must have the applicable_to configuration.
Example:
#mstconfig create_conf --private_key privatekey.pem --key_uuid
"29ee36ee-13b7-11e7-83de-0cc47a6d39d2"

mstconfig apply Command

The apply command can be used to apply the NV configurations files to the firmware using the apply
command. Only Firmware that supports applying configurations files can be used.
Example:
#mstconfig -d 41:00.0
