That might be the case. But obviously I can only speculate.

This is correct. But you need to get a couple of things right  before
you see a single character onthe console.

You should not change existing files in an incompatible way.  Instead
you  should  add  your  own set of files for your hardware. Otherwise
there will not be any chance to include your modifications  intot  he

I have no way to tell if your modifications might work. But  this  is
not  (yet)  relevant.  You will see output on the console long before
RAM is accessed.
