Luckily it comes with the UART board and I saw that the kernel wasn't working (I think it was not finding it? Don't remember exactly).

I reinstalled the factory image and it's all good. But now I'm afraid of updating the system again. Is updating everything with pacman like this not recommended? Anyone had the same issue or I just got unlucky that time?

I didn't have any issue updating that way.
