Hi,

Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
For the recovery UART I follow the instructions:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardRecovery#UART_recovery

I could successfully run the "pserial" and "ukermit" commands. Please
see the below outputs.

root@vector-laptop:/usr/local/src/serial_boot/omap-u-boot-utils# ./
pserial -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -f x-load.bin
Waiting For Device ASIC ID: Press Ctrl+C to stop

root@vector-laptop:/usr/local/src/serial_boot/omap-u-boot-utils#

After these commands it displays shell command prompt instead of the
below message as mention in the link http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardRecovery#UART_recovery

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

I didn't get the above message (u-boot command prompt). What might be
the problem?

Could you please suggest me. I am stuck up here.......... :frowning:

Thanks&Regards,

What do you get? You said you got to a command shell, so why do you say you have a problem. Do you mean the host just gives you a command shell prompt? Do you still have a serial terminal open to the board? Did you even try to open a serial connection after the download?

Yes, After the download I try to open the serial terminal but Beagleboard didn’t show the u-boot command prompt. Why?

I would like to help you, but you are not helping me to help you. Please read http://beagleboard.org/faq and try to ask your question in a more productive way.

To spell things out for you a bit, you have not documented the steps that you followed. How did you invoke the serial terminal? Did you send a carriage return (enter key)?

Take some time to put together a good question if you want me to take some time to provide a good answer.
