Does ARM have any mechanism like the VESA/VGA text

问题:

In x86, the kernel can write to 0xB8000 and have ASCII characters displayed on screen, after some setup of the VGA device. Is there a similar standard mechanism for the kernel to display messages during boot? If not, do chip manufacturers tend to create their own mechanisms for this, or is an external serial-to-video device (FPGA, or serial link to a PC) a better option for this?
