<h2>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>OsLoader is a tightly-coupled payload for Slim Bootloader that natively supports the Linux Boot Protocol and is also capable of launching several different executable file formats (Multiboot ELF, ELF, PE32, UEFI-PI FV).</p>
<p>If a payload is not specified in the SBL build command, OsLoader will be the default payload built with SBL.</p>
<p>OsLoader expects the boot image to be packaged as an SBL Container. OsLoader verifies the boot image for secure boot purposes. Refer to the <a class="reference internal" href="../tools/GenContainer.html#gen-container-tool"><span class="std std-ref">Container Tool</span></a> document for more details on the Container format, and <a class="reference internal" href="../how-tos/create-container-boot-image.html#create-container-boot-image"><span class="std std-ref">Create Container Boot Image</span></a> document for how to create a container image.</p>
<p>OsLoader can launch the Linux kernel directly when debug mode is enabled.</p>
