Hi, Beagle Board provides latest images online.
     But I want to build my own image from readily available kernel, boot loader and file system. 
     How to build OS image file from these sources???

John pointed you to the best page for understanding how to build the BBB.  The page instructs you on the steps to retrieve the git repos, build each piece and then write to an sdcard. For U-Boot: checkout the v2014.10 version from your local git clone, apply the BBB cpu patch, and compile.  This should create an MLO and uboot image which, when flashed to an sdcard, should bring up the BBB to the uboot prompt.  Instructions for formatting and writing the sdcard are there also.

I also use https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder which has a set of shell scripts to retrieve and build a variety of full images.  You can read the scripts to understand the steps you need.

If you're not using a *nix system (linux, apple) for development I think the learning curve is going to be steeper since the whole development tree and target systems are based on linux - including Android.  Search the web for how others have overcome this.
