For what it's worth, I have recently completed a port of U-Boot to a custom board with no serial port in the design. It does, however, have a functioning ethernet port, which we set up to use as a netconsole. Sure, most of the informative boot up messages are missed, but to paraphrase Wolfgang, "get a BDI 2000"! ;) Good Luck, Adam Kent
