[U-Boot] Displaying characters on the display in u-boot

[Bhargav A K]

Hi All

I have been able to display a splash screen in u-boot by converting the splash image to a header (using GIMP)
and loading it into a GFX register (OMAP 4470).

Now I have to display text(character) on the display. I read about CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE in the u-boot
documentation.
How exactly does it work, is it the right method to display characters on the screen ?
Please give me some direction with this issue..

Kind regards
Bhargav
