Hi @lazarman Thanks for your well explained reply. But the thing is since I am new to this, I just to check one thing whether it works or not. Since i prepared one sd card with image on it download from here https://beagleboard.org/latest-images and I tested it on BBB board with out any modification, its boot up well. since I am using the same SD for booting up my customized BB board, its not boot up. So my point is to is this related to some ROM code which comes from TI or I need to setup SD with u-boot. So if there is no hardware error, it should boot with the same SD what I have tested on BBB board, right? Please make me understand about this flow.
