You have posted the same question several times. I have already responded to 
you. In case you deleted the email, see 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/30132

File common/console.c and common/devices.c contain everything. When you 
device_register(), you're inserting a new item into the devlist. When you 
set the stdin, stdout, or stderr you're calling console_setfile() which 
assigns a function pointer for each I/O function. When u-boot wants to read 
or display a character it follows the function pointer stored in global 
data.

Please read my previous posting. Use lcd.c as an example. Write 4 new 
functions that implement getc, tstc, putc, and puts. Register these as I/O 
using device_register() and choose them by setting stdin, stdout, and 
stderr.
