+# QEMU SBSA emulator
+This page describes how to build and run ```coreboot``` for QEMU's sbsa-ref machine.
+The qemu-sbsa ```coreboot``` image acts as BL-3.3 for Arm Trusted Firmware (```TF-A```) and
+mainly takes care of setting up SMBIOS and ACPI tables, hence, in order to boot,
+you also need to supply a ```TF-A``` image.
+
+## Building TF-A
+
+You can build ```TF-A``` from source by fetching
+```
+https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware
+```
+and building the qemu-sbsa platform
+```
+PLAT=qemu_sbsa
+```
+Upon entry, ```coreboot``` expects a FDT pointer in x0, so make sure to compile ```TF-A``` with
+```
+ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1
+```
+This will force ```TF-A``` to pass a pointer to the FDT in x0.
+
+## Building coreboot
+
+Simply select the qemu-sbsa board and, optionally, configure a payload. We recommend
+the ```leanefi``` payload. ```leanefi``` will setup a minimal set of UEFI services, just enough
+to boot into a linux kernel.
+
+## Running coreboot in QEMU
+
+Once you have obtained ```TF-A``` and ```coreboot``` images, launch qemu via
+
+```bash
+qemu-system-aarch64 -nographic -m 1024 -M sbsa-ref -pflash <path/to/TFA.fd> \
+                                                   -pflash <path/to/coreboot.rom>
+```
+
+## LBBR bootflow
+
+arm and 9elements worked together in order to create a LBBR compliant bootflow
+consisting of ```TF-A```, ```coreboot```, ```leanefi``` and ```LinuxBoot```. A proof of concept
+can be found here https://gitlab.arm.com/systemready/firmware-build/linuxboot/lbbr-coreboot-poc
