Beaglebone Not Recognized Over USB After Power Off

Uhm I think I might have bricked my beaglebone dev board.

I powered the board via USB, and connected a USB to serial converter on its serial pinout.

I was trying to understand the boot sequence so I used minicom to see all the information it spits before boot login.

Finally, I logged in to my board over minicom. After I was done, I pressed the power button to turn it off. Now my board doesn’t get recognized on my PC over USB.

I tried checking again over serial, and I noticed it’s spitting gibberish on the terminal.

    Addressed…
    Found out it was power related. I didn’t connect the ground pin of my USB converter on the beaglebone. 🤦‍♂️
