Thanks for the fast response Anthony. I have followed these instructions and have been successfully booting ARMv8 in FS mode for a few weeks now thanks to your contributions. As far as I can tell the README is more of a guide about how to boot gem5 with the provided file rather than instructions about how the files were generated. And even though I recently saw that the contents of the tarball now include the 2core and 4core dtb varieties, I'd like to know how those were created in case I want to build my own dtb for x number of cores or hardware changes. If you, or some one you know could provide some more detail than what is written in the README, that would be appreciated.
As a side note, Linaro updates the timestamp on their img files so the Disk image link in the README will not work directly.
