Beagle rev-B7 boot-up issue

Hi team,

I'm facing some issues with my Beagle Board rev B7.
Because of some hardware concerns I resend it to DigiKey for
repairing/replacement. But ever since it is delivered back I'm are not
able to boot it up properly. I don't get any U-boot prompt on Serial
COM during startup but when connected to HDMI display I can see the
BeagleBoard logo.

Is there any way I can replace my existing U-boot and MLO (if needed)?

Thanks for your concern.

Regards

DigiKey does not repair the BeagleBoards. Did you get the same board back or was it replaced? What was the original issue you were having?

As to replacing the U-Boot and MLO, you can find infoirmation on how to do this at http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleboardRevCValidation

Thanks for your concern Gerald.

was it replaced? What was the original issue you were having?

Original problem was that S-Video output was not coming. I checked all
the available software options to make it work.
When I reported it to my local distributor here they verified it and
contact DIgiKey. They said if its a minor issue then they will fix it
otherwise they will send a replacement. I have checked that I got the
same Board back from them.

As to replacing the U-Boot and MLO, you can find infoirmation on how to do
this at Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

I will check if can find something useful here.

If UART is the only issue, then you can try USB TTY support. Its is
built in default u-boot. Your printenv listing should be like ( in,
out, err)

In: serial usbtty
Out: serial usbtty
Err: serial usbtty

Then connecting USB OTG (slave mode) to USB port on PC will give you
console or hyperterminal of your host machine.

I'm not able to download "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.0.6" from:
http://selfdestruct.net/misc/usbboot/SP27213.exe

as mentioned here
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleboardRevCValidation

It is asking for credentials and end up giving the following error:
"Authorization Required"
