Hi all again and thanks for feedback.
I isolate the problem.
R53 needs to be removed.
I dont want trying to explain how CMOS battery and R53 affects on
starting up, but i done following investigation:
1. If I warm up minnow board to about 80C
2. Then shut it down
3. Then start it up
4. I get VCC(SYS) led flickering in 8 cases of 10.
5. If I then connect scope to SLP_S3_L I will see square wave about 50ms
in period.
6. If i brake SLP_S3_L net in two pieces i see logical 1 on both sides
and dont see any oscillations.
6. If I remove R53, I never see the problem again.
7. I see datasheet for BiDi level translator TXS0104EYZT and found that
external pull-up resistors not needed for this type of translator.
I hope this helps someone

There are "Release" and "Debug" versions of images in both 32 and 64 bit execution mode. Though I firmly agree that it would be best to update to the latest firmware revision (0.84). If you have the ability to use the serial console of the MinnowBoard MAX or Turbot, you could use the Debug version to get a firmware dump at boot, which would tell you exactly how far the boot proceeded before going experiencing difficulty, this could give you more clues as to what is happening on the system. The Debug versions do take longer to boot, as they are reporting (debug logging) everything as the boot progresses, so once you have your answers, you can always flash to the 'release' version of the same firmware to get the boot times down again.
