OpenSBI as coreboot payload
|

==============================
|
|
|
|
[coreboot](https://www.coreboot.org/) is a free/libre and open source firmware platform support multiple hardware architectures( x86, ARMv7, arm64, PowerPC64, MIPS and RISC-V) and diverse hardware models. In RISC-V world, coreboot currently support HiFive Unleashed with OpenSBI as a payload to boot GNU/Linux:

The upstreaming work is still in progress. There's a [documentation](https://github.com/hardenedlinux/embedded-iot_profile/blob/master/docs/riscv/hifiveunleashed_coreboot_notes-en.md) about how to build [out-of-tree code](https://github.com/hardenedlinux/coreboot-HiFiveUnleashed) to load OpenSBI.
