Initialization order plays only a role here as a console device starts working too late. The native console port is the serial port.
So what needs to be modified to do this? Create new serial_putc, _getc, _init etc. functions that send messages to where he needs them?
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
