Aarch64 Quickstart Guide

This page will help those new to aarch64(armv8) get started the foundation model provided by ARM.

Download

The first step will be to download the Foundation model from ARM, a stage4 root filesystem, and a kernel for use with the file system. In order to download the Foundation model you will need to create a free account with ARM.

Using the model

Unpack the model

mkdir ~/armv8
cd ~/armv8
tar xvzf FM000-KT-00035-r0p8-44rel23.tgz

Rather than using the full path, create an alias for running the Foundation model

export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/Foundation_v8pkg/Foundation_v8

Extract the Root Filesystem

After downloading the rootfs extract it to your '~/armv8' directory:

cd ~/armv8
tar xvjf f19-stage4-rootfs.tar.bz2

With the kernel, rootfs in your working directory fv8 --image img-foundation.axf --block-device f17-stage2-rootfs.img --network=nat

The model will take a few moments to start.
