    I understand your concern. Unfortunately, the U-Boot SPLs that are part of the newer BBB images don’t print anything on the UART console if EEPROM is empty.

    THERE IS A WORKAROUND FOR THIS. Debian 7.5 (Old version of BBB Image) DOES print U-Boot error message if EEPROM is empty. You can download it from:

                 Debian 7.5 (BeagleBone, BeagleBone Black – 2GB SD) 2014-05-14         

    I tested this image on a board with empty EEPROM. I have attached a picture of the U-Boot error message on UART console. You should get the same thing when you use it on your board.

    Hope this helps!
