I have tried both with new as well as existing cards but no change in 
behavior. All I see is a 40W. I only see one LED light up  on the board. Is 
there a way to get Uboot/MLO to the board through serial port perhaps 
without an SD card. I have even tried linux boot format using fdisk and 
then copying the files one by one. Thanks for your help again.
