If you just want to run Debian on a 32-bit arm model and you
don't care about it specifically being vexpress (or that it's
cortex-a9 rather than -a15) you're probably better off using
the "virt" board, which has more memory, supports pci and
so can use real hard disks and a more efficient network
interface, etc.
This walkthrough is a few years old now but should still
be basically correct I think:
