google works wonders, and unfortunately since you do not have a specific question that's about as good as I or anyone else can do.
DHCP requires a service installed, and running at boot. A non working serial debug cable can fail for many a reason. Is it known working ? Is it 3v3 ttl ? is it connected properly ? Which Linux image are you running on the BBB ? Which init daemon are you running - systemd or sysv ? As for anything, knowing a good bit about something goes a long way for troubleshooting. You sir, will need to become intimately familiar with Linux - Otherwise this show stops here. Also, as you can see above, there is no one solution fix for many, or even any problem on a system running Linux. Which is why you need to become familiar with it. In the end, if you're running a stock image on a Beaglebone black REVC. I can probably help you fix the DHCP issue. Set a static IP for the usb ethernet gadget on both host, and BBB. 192.168.7.1 for host, 192.168.7.2 for the Beaglebone. netmask 255.255.255.0 will suffice. With gateway 192.168.7.1 on the Beaglebone note this as an example: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Configuring_the_interface_manually As for the serial debug cable. I can only guess at what the problem is, and you need to answer all of the above questions first before anyone can help you well.
