Have you tried to run our binaries from our release first, to make
sure your setup is correct?  Then, when you know the setup is correct,
build your own kernel and see what happens.

RTSM_terminal_0 may not display because the kernel is crashing and has
not started the console output yet.  There are many reasons for this,
like using a wrong kernel binary, using the wrong device tree, etc...
That's why I recommend you take our release version first and try
that.

Basically, the upstream kernel does not have the same arm64 support
included as we have in Linaro's trees.  We are using code taken from
Catalin's tree and adding some patches ourselves.

If you want to work with our instructions, you should use our tree:

  https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=kernel/linux-linaro-tracking.git

That should be the easiest way to reproduce the issue.

 But i cannot built kenel correctly. Because some files such as
arm64/boot/dts/vexpress-v2p-aarch64.dts,
