Hello folks,
I had purchased the AM335x starter kit 2 years ago. Recently, i was playing around with the Linux OS and everything was working fine. Then i inserted Android SD card and was exploring the OS. Executed some scripts related to Crash the system etc.(not able to recall the exact position or the script name where i navigated to). Also, after this I saw connect charger notification on the top right corner of the screen and the board hanged. I rebooted the board but nothing came up.
Earlier the Power LEDs used to glow for 2 seconds after the reset button was pressed, but now even with inserting the SD cards(both Linux/Android) and also without the SD cards, the LEDs glow for a fraction of a second and go off, nothing comes up on the LCD screen. I tried attaching serial console with the USB-to-serial cable using Hyperterminal/teraterm/minicom but nothing is getting displayed on the console either.

I have made some custom applications and want to try it out on the kit, but since it seems there is a board failure, I am not able to do anything. I will order another one, but wanted to try it out on a simulator first. My question is as below:
1) How do I simulate/emulate the AM335x kit if I don't have the hardware board(only the prebuilt-images and board support packages)? Is there a way(TI toolset) to test(validate) the images before testing it on the actual board(via uSD card)? Can the Matrix GUI be simulated on a virtual machine using the kernel image?
Thanks and Regards,
Prathamesh
