Personally (and unofficially), I find that the simplest and most reliable way to use vexpress is to flash the kernel/dtb/initrd images into NOR flash and use the bootmonitor supplied with the board to load these.
No you don't. The party line is: we all use UEFI. ;-)
If it does TFTP and can be scripted then I don't mind.
Otherwise, if I'm going to still use U-Boot in the end then UEFI will be just an extra roundtrip into another to-be-despised bootloader in lack of visibility and attention since it'll do nothing but increase my kernel boot latency.
Did I mention already that I hate bootloaders?
