I have been able to 'trick' cargo into working by removing Cargo.lock, and replacing the dependency with:
arm-fvp-base-pac = { git = "https://review.trustedfirmware.org/arm-firmware-crates/arm-fvp-base-pac" }Note, no rev =, and no features = (because the main branch doesn't have that feature). With this dependency it will build, but we're using the wrong version of the library. Now restore the dependency as it was, and it will work! I think this is because the git checkout in .cargo now has some information in it that is missing when rev = "..." is specified. I don't fully understand why though.
Steps
git clone https://github.com/rust-embedded/aarch64-cpu
cd aarch64-cpu
git checkout f868d61fd04e49ae9a5bbcaa024f4a75cc83e4a0
cd examples/armv8-r
cargo build
