+Linux as a direct payload to OpenSBI
+====================================
+
+OpenSBI has the capability to load a Linux kernel image directly in supervisor
+mode. The flattened image generated by the Linux kernel build process can be
+provided as a payload to OpenSBI.
+
+Detailed examples can be found in both the [QEMU](../platform/qemu_virt.md)
+and the [HiFive Unleashed](../platform/sifive_fu540.md) platform guides.
