Hi Michael, Are you using the Black or Blue Beaglebone?
It seems that you are using the term bricked for not being able to connect to the BBB. For me it would be bricked if I cannot use anymore at all, so also not when connecting every possible cable. For the black it's very hard to brick it like that. It is almost always possible to boot from the insertable SD card. Typically on every system there are scripts being run at start-up. If you are using ubuntu then you will probably have systemd or init which will start all your processes. I have been using busybox for which I add startup commands to a particular file. In general, I would start by logging in to the machine and configure it by hand. When that works add the configuration steps to the startup scripts. What you exactly need to do will depend on your distro, hardware (maybe load a module), network settings (fixed IP or dhcp). I hope this gives some guidance for now. I would start by looping up network configuration and the startup configuration for the distro that you will be using.
