  • Hi Srinivas,

    The message "Starting OS Bootloader..." shows that the x-loader (MLO) completes its work and then go to run the u-boot but the the u-boot never runs. There are some possible reasons for this stuck of system:

    • The u-boot is incorrect or not presents
    • If you expect to boot from the sd card which is prepared correctly but the system boots from nand and there is only x-loader.

    I suggest you to change the x-loader with other one with different version and you should see on the console the version of the new x-loader to ensure that the system booting from the right place. You can use the prebuilt files of DVSDK 4.03 which could download from the link:

    http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/DVSDK_4_00/latest/index_FDS.html

    The version on the x-loader will be 1.51.
