A fork of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/boot-wrapper-aarch64.git

Core contents:

• model.lds.S
• boot.S
• Makefile

Build your kernel (using this cross-compiler toolchain) and symlink the following files:

• Image: symlink to /arch/arm64/boot/Image

• dtc: symlink to to /scripts/dtc/dtc

• foundation-v8.dts: symlink to /arch/arm64/boot/dts/foundation-v8.dts

• Foundation_v8 and libarmctlmodel.so are part of the ARM foundation model, which can be downloaded from the website: ARM website

• raring-rootfs is available from http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/rootfs/

• linaro-rootfs is available from http://releases.linaro.org/15.06/openembedded/aarch64/

Once the make target linux-system.axf is built from the kernel image, run the emulator like:

$ ./Foundation_v8 --image linux-system.axf --cores 4 --block-device linaro-rootfs

Notice the kernel parameter root=/dev/vda in the Makefile: the linaro-rootfs supplied on command-line is exposed as a virtio block device.
