Dear Giorgio Wicklein,

just a question - Is it possible to interact with the U-Boot command line (prompt) over an LCD monitor?
No, this is not possible. A LCD monitor is an output device, and to enter commands to the command line interface you need an input device.
As it is now, on boot, I get only an Orange/yellow gradient background on my LCD.
As of now, there is no graphics support for OMAP processors in U-Boot mainline, so you don't even get output.
Is it really only possible over serial and usb connection, like someone other told me?
With current mainline code, yes.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
