Got it. Rest of the part of this mail is to make my life simple :)

@Pawell and others: Is there a way in vexpress bootmon to load images
directly from uSD card instead of flash? I know we can stop flashing stuff
to flash from uSD card by changing config.txt, but with that i need
commands to load stuff from uSD card directly.

This will save a lot of time during development.
