1. to partition the SD card with the fdisk tools
2. to downloa the prebuilt images of r10 into the SD card
3. to insert the SD card into imx51 board
4. to power on the board to boot up the android system
5. the kernel loading always failed

Sorry, I do not understand.

The problem is you cannot find a link to donwload the binaries. Or the problem is that bootloader cannot load the kernel?

I think the kenel in SD card has been loaded into memory successfully, but data CRC was error. So I suggest you erase SD at first , then burin images into it. your board should be booted succefully.
