I think that he wants to have the console on DBGU (Debug UART),

COM1 "xxx" will send the string to UART1, and a response is received on UART1.
The response should be echoed on DBGU

Is that really possible?

I would do it a bit different though.
I would have a command which puts u-boot in a transparent mode
just forwarding any incoming data on the DBGU to the selected
USART (or SPI or whatever).
All incoming data on the selected channel is forwarded to DBGU.

Aborted by pressing a combination of keys (Ctrl-C three times?).
