That is not possible to do without any extra hardware. You can do this if you use a usb to serial converter that Linux supports. > Now, i can send the shell output to PC side by running > following command on target board: > sh -i > /dev/myUSB > > However, would you share with me some ideas on how to > replace serial port by USB port in a more complete > way? e.g. seeing bootup message, input/output console > thru USB port... It's possible (we do support console messages on USB to Serial devices) in the 2.6 kernel, but in reality, it's pointless (USB starts up too late in the boot process, interupts are needed so you can't capture oops messages, the devices are slow, have no buffer, etc.) I suggest you get a serial connection for your target device.
