Note - the generated u-boot.ais and u-boot.bin are different images. 
As Sekhar said, u-boot.ais is u-boot.bin + the SPL bit (which for the
L138 is AIS code).  In an earlier reply, I mentioned HexAIS_OMAP-
L138.exe.  For a long time you had to use that (or the Windows-only GUI
program) to add the AIS initialistion code to u-boot.bin.  Now the SPL
section of u-boot does that, with u-boot.ais being the result.

If you put just the .bin file there, then the processor is going to
come up, look for an AIS "script", fail to find it, and give up.
