I downloaded the foundation model and ran:

$ ./Foundation_v8 --image linux-system-foundation.axf --block-device
debian-arm-rootfs

as described in the Debian page [1]. However, I didn't understand how
to boot it up with the kernel I just built with my toolchain
(arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz). What is this linux-system-foundation.axf?
Also, what is libarmctmodel.so?

Thanks.
