Noob here. Unclear how to flash different distros

I see what appear to be conflicting reports of what I need to do in order to boot an img from sdcard. 

Seems like it's some combination of:
a) erase emmc
b) hold the power button during boot
c) hold a reset button under the back cover
d) just write an img to an sdcard, pop it in and restart

Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks!

If you have the factory image still on the EMMC, you can flash a Pro image onto an SD card and it'll boot from it without any further input. I tried it with Arch SXMO once I got mine and the only issue so far was some serious rumbling in the first 5 seconds of it booting.
