 OpenSBI Platform Support Guideline
 ==================================
 
-The OpenSBI platform support is a set of platform specific hooks provided
-in the form of a *struct sbi_platform* instance. It is required by:
+OpenSBI platform support allows an implementation to define a set of platform
+specific hooks (hardware manipulation functions) in the form of a
+*struct sbi_platform* data structure instance. This instance is required by
+platform independent *libsbi.a* to execute platform specific operations.
 
-1. *libplatsbi.a* - A platform specific OpenSBI static library, that is,
-   libsbi.a plus a *struct sbi_platform* instance installed at
-   *<install_directory>/platform/<platform_subdir>/lib/libplatsbi.a*
-2. *firmwares* - Platform specific bootable firmware binaries installed at
-   *<install_directory>/platform/<platform_subdir>/bin*
+Each of the reference platform support provided by OpenSBI define an instance
+of the *struct sbi_platform* data structure. For each supported platform,
+*libplatsbi.a* integrates this instance with *libsbi.a* to create a platform
+specific OpenSBI static library. This library is installed
+in *<install_directory>/platform/<platform_subdir>/lib/libplatsbi.a*
+
+OpenSBI also provides implementation examples of bootable runtime firmwares for
+the supported platforms. These firmwares are linked against *libplatsbi.a*.
+Firmware binaries are installed in
+*<install_directory>/platform/<platform_subdir>/bin*. These firmwares can be
+used as executable runtime firmwares on the supported platforms as a replacement
+for the legacy *riskv-pk* boot loader (BBL).
 
 A complete doxygen-style documentation of *struct sbi_platform* and related
-APIs is available in sbi/sbi_platform.h.
