Hi Oliver,

   Sorry for the missing information.  I am using version 7.1.63 of the A15
fast model.  I'm using the ArmVExpress-RTSM-A15_MPCore.dsc dsc file,and
building against the linaro-tracking-2013.05 branch of the uefi-next
repository.  I have been making some changes, mostly debug related.

I had made the following changes to the DSC file:
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCoreCount|1
gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSendSgiToBringUpSecondaryCores|FALSE

This was running fine on a single core until I started removing some debug
prints.

Roy
