I'm not understanding this email thread at all... perhaps because I've read it from the top ;-)
I thought from the first email that Viresh was trying to get the board to boot up completely from when he applies power to the board.... in that case, editing /media/VEMSD/config.txt and changing "AUTORUN" to "TRUE" means that when you power on the board, it will automatically power on the core tile (ie. it's the equivalent of pressing the red button after the motherboard boots).
When the Core Tile boots, the motherboard's command line moves to COM1, with COM0 now belonging to the Core Tile.
On COM1, you can issue the commands "reboot", which is like pressing the red button while the CoreTile is running, or "shutdown", which powers off the CoreTile and leaves you at the Cmd> prompt on COM0.
Hope that helps, even if it wasn't what you were asking for ;-)

Please check the config.txt file on the motherboard micro SDCard and make sure the following entry is set:
ASSERTNPOR: TRUE ;External resets assert nPOR
(config.txt should be in the root of the filesystem.)
It is on my board.

Just tried it, and that's how my TC2 behaves as well. Whereas on A9
it
does reset the CoreTile CPU and the bootmonitor runs again.
Good to know, i am not alone. :)
I should also note that even when booting from the motherboard bootloader by typing "reboot" that my TC2 has a 50/50 chance of
hanging
at the stage just before the bootmonitor banner should appear.
I haven't noticed it much.. Normally i press the black button followed by right one... So don't use reboot from bootloader much.
