Hi , I have added mmc driver into the vexpress64 board file for uboot and tested it on FVP base model.

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.
Which version of the model are you using and which kernel tree? Thanks!
The model is the most recent FVP from linaro website and the kernel is a very old one. But mkimage has nothing to do with the kernel. uImage produced by mkimage is correctly loaded by u-boot for aarch64. I will make a test with the most recently kernel and give you feedback.
Best regards, David
