OpenSBI as coreboot payload
===========================
[coreboot] 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:
```
SiFive HiFive unleashed's original firmware boot process:
+-----------+
+------+ +------+ +------+ | BBL |
| MSEL |--->| ZSBL |--->| FSBL |--->| +-------+
+------+ +------+ +------+ | | linux |
+---+-------+
coreboot boot process:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| coreboot |
+------+ +------+ | +-----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +-----------------------+
| MSEL |-->| ZSBL |-->| | bootblock |->| romstage |->| ramstage |->| payload ( OpenSBI) |
+------+ +------+ | +-----------+ +----------+ +----------+ | +-------+ |
| | | linux | |
+---------------------------------------------+-------------+-------+-+
```
The upstreaming work is still in progress. There's a [documentation] about how
to build [out-of-tree code] to load OpenSBI.
