Hello Amit,
We've all just come back from an engineering conference, and a few of
us are still on vacation. So apologies for the tardy response to your
emails.

For some reason unknown to me, our Linaro instructions for getting the
foundation model up and running quickly have been removed. They can,
however, be accessed via:
https://web.archive.org/web/20130826123648/http://www.linaro.org/engineering/engineering-projects/armv8

So essentially, you download:
 * a pre-built axf file from Linaro. This contains the boot-wrapper,
kernel, device tree and boot command line information.
 * a root filesystem in an image that is presented as a block device.
 * the foundation model from arm.com.

Then you can run the thing.
The OpenEmbedded LAMP filesystem contains a toolchain (gcc) so you can
compile and run code within the model.

Once you're familiar with the Foundation model, you can then expose
the Linux root filesystem via NFS and that should give you a little
more flexibility.

Cheers,
-- 
Steve
