Hi, sharma:
Thank you very much!
I got it:
Arm-trusted-firmware is the first running code on Foundation model.
It runs at aarch64 execution state.

Best wishes,

Hi Tiger,

Yes, the Trusted firmware runs in EL3 and calls the UEFI boot firmware which 
runs in EL2.

In the trusted firmware project 
https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware
you will find the instructions to launch UEFI from this firmware on the ARM 
FVPs (fixed Virtual
Platforms) - for example the FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A, in the readme.md file 
(https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/readme.md)

Note that the Trusted Firmware has only been tested only on 64-bit versions of 
the ARM FVPs, so
don't know how you will use to test the same for your 32-bit AArch32 code.
 
Regards,
Bhupesh
