Thanks for the input! I tried many, many, many times without the serial debug cable. In fact, I only resorted to buying the serial debug cable to assist my endeavor before resorting to asking the community. I saw many similar posts where people were asked to plug in a serial debug cable... I thought it might help.
If I try without the debug cable, the lights will flash for hours (i let it go for 2 hours). But when I plug in the HDMI cable, and it's just sitting in the regular angstrom ui (forgive me I don't know the name off the top of my head). I WAS able to flash the latest Angstrom initially with no issues. So I think I have the process down, it's just something to do with the combination of my board + the debian image. Anyway, thanks for the input.
