LCD Touchscreen display in Mikrotik RB 2011UiAS-2HnD

So recently i install openwrt on my mikrotik device , everything is ok except lcd and touchscreen
screen only shows "starting kernel" and Mikrotik logo
how i can show for example system uptime on lcd display ?
i can't find any display device file under /dev/ directory
