Notes

To boot Versatile Express images, the board first needs to have U-Boot manually flashed into NOR. However, the version of U-Boot which ships in this release doesn't correctly read the boot script from SD card and should be replaced by the one available at: http://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/VersatileExpressUBoot
