Dear "Muralitharan Perumal",
In message 49EC3790.2000403@pace.com you wrote:
Is there any UBoot command to clear the Serial Console screen? Or any other way to do that?
A serial console port is a sequential stream of bytes without any such notation as "screen". Thus there is no command to clear a "screen":, and there cannot be any such command.
Assuming you connect the serial data stream to some terminal or terminal emulator, this (emulated device) might have such features, and provide ways to perform any such actions on it. And it may even be possible to use for example the "echo" command to send the required (device specific) sequence of control characters - but this is nothing that has anything to do with U-Boot.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
