I figured out step 5 and 6. For step 7 should I keep the switches of the board in fastboot mode ?
For the step 1, I have used this image https://snapshots.linaro.org/reference-platform/embedded/master/hikey960/latest/rpb-wayland/rpb-console-image-hikey960-20180504111435-608.rootfs.img.gz
And for some reason step 5 worked when I used this image
The test images always give me an error as to “Error opening input file”

This is what I get in my linux pc after all the steps. Now in order to login to the board, Do I have to use the HDMI cable and login, or can I login via serial console as suggested in linux installation ?
When I open the Serial console in normal boot operation I get the following error
root@susmitha:/dev# ls |grep ttyU
