Can you please be little specific to have more idea about your problem. Have you downloaded .flash file of your elf or sof or some raw-binary data? And how you are making comparison?

i had downloaded the files into flash and epcs, and the board run well.

This is because the .flash file is an s-record, which is different than the binary format you would read from the flash chip. 

 S-records contain additional information about the data, such as where to put it in memory.
