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:

coreboot boot process:

The upstreaming work is still in progress. There's a documentation about how to build out-of-tree code to load OpenSBI.
