Hi!
is it possible to have the u-boot prompt at the Beagleboard DVI output? I have an application where serial connection is not possible however DVI display and a USB keyboard are present.

If you look at some of the old versions of u-boot [1], you'll find
they configure the DVI-D to output color bars. That can be used as a
basis for enabling a full display. I'm not aware of anyone who has
enabled a console in u-boot for BeagleBoard.

A tiny bit of research and it seems u-boot mainline has support for
the video interfaces on both BeagleBoard [2] and BeagleBone [3].
Further, both seem to have USB drivers in the tree [4]. This should
enable you to access a keyboard.
Seems like a small amount of integration should allow you to enable a
console. I'd love to see something like that enabled upstream.

Hi Jason!
thanks a lot! Give me a few days to investigate it
