Hi , I have added mmc driver into the vexpress64 board file for uboot and tested it on FVP base model. I tried booting a kernel on that but it is aborting with the following message: Final value for argc=3 Loading Kernel Image ... OK kernel loaded at 0x00080000, end = 0x00827024 using: FDT reserving fdt memory region: addr=80000000 size=10000 ## initrd_high = 0xffffffffffffffff, copy_to_ram = 1 ramdisk load start = 0x00000000, ramdisk load end = 0x00000000 ## device tree at 0000000090008000 ... 000000009000a850 (len=22609 [0x5851]) Loading Device Tree to 000000009fffa000, end 000000009ffff850 ...

Can anyone please provide the procedure on how to boot the kernel with u-boot on armv8 models ?
I always use mkimage converting kernel to uImage and booting it. It works fine. Wish this help you.
