Please visit this page and get the zip file under "VxWorks Instructions for SoC EDS 13.1":

https://www.altera.com/download/soc-eds/rtos-tools.jsp

That document will walk you through how to boot VxWorks via SD card or QSPI using a modified preloader. The instructions are written for the Altera dev board but they may work for the Arrow board as well, I have not tried that.

The instructions contain pre-built preloaders that are known to work with the Altera dev board and SD card images that should work as well.

Instructions for 14.0 are almost ready to be published -- if you are using 14.0 today let me know and I may be able to get you a preview of those instructions.
