There is usbtty support in u-boot but only for some OMAP1 devices (although it is broken in the current release) and for some MPC devices. Unfortunately, I don't believe that this is currently supported for OMAP3. Therefore, I think that you are going to need an RS232-to-USB dongle for your PC in order to interact with u-boot.
