Flashing a new Debian image to the Beaglebone Black, it crashed due to a power outage. After the incident, the Beaglebone does not boot (at boot time, the four LEDs stay lit), nor can be flashed.
Connecting to serial port, I can watch the boot logs and enter to U-Boot terminal. The boot logs are: *U-Boot SPL 2014.04-00014-g47880f5 (Apr 22 2014 - 13:23:54)* *reading args* *spl_load_image_fat_os: error reading image args, err - -1* *reading u-boot.img* *reading u-boot.img* *U-Boot 2014.04-00014-g47880f5 (Apr 22 2014 - 13:23:54)* *I2C: ready* *DRAM: 512 MiB* *NAND: 0 MiB* *MMC: OMAP SD/MMC: 0, OMAP SD/MMC: 1* **** Warning - readenv() failed, using default environment* *Net: <ethaddr> not set.

The main issue seems to be the lack of the *initrd.img* file. Although, some other kernel files could be missed too. Avoiding the option of having a hardware issue, I need to restore the kernel or a whole Linux image. - Can it be done through serial port (as a kernel update)? - Which is the best way to restore the Beaglebone?
