Hi

As you only have 192k RAM on this board and u-boot typically runs from 
RAM (after it is relocated from flash) you won't have a lot of fun 
porting u-boot to this system. A typical u.boot image is > 128k of code. 
And even if you are able to make u-boot XIP on this board it won't be 
extremely useful as you can't run any bigger OS on this chip. Better 
take a look at a smaller RTOS like http://www.freertos.org/. This will 
be a lot more useful.
