To build EDK2 as a capsule you need both TF-A and SCP files (even if SCP is not used).

SCP 20230517 can be taken from Gigabyte MP32-AR0 F33j firmware archive.

Edit:

The problem is: how to update SMPro firmware?

I went through Supermicro, Gigabyte and ASRockRack websites, fetched their firmware updates and digged.

Gigabyte has EFI app for flashing.

Supermicro mentions using OpenBMC for it but does not have a tarball with SMPro to check how it should look like.

So I looked into OpenBMC image. `/sbin/firmware_update.sh`, `/sbin/ampere_firmware_upgrade.sh` and `/sbin/ampere_flash_bios.sh` scripts handle all the work.

And if someone would like to know available version of firmware components:

| Date | TF-A | SCP |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2022.05.31 | ✔ | ✔ |
| 2023.05.17 (ASRockRack default) | ✔ | ✔ |
| 2024.02.01 | ✔ | |
| 2025.05.06 | ✔ | ✔ |
| 2025.12.16 | ✔ | |

There were some other ones but I did not found them for download.

UPDATE:

In the meantime AsrockRack provided firmware version 4.01 with SCP/TF-A 20260210 version:
