Thanks for your reply.  

 

I would appreciate  if you can guide me to identify  suitable  starting point for changing Uboot for my current plateform (for example files  or memory mapping related).

 

thanks again.

Yes, you can.

You need  an  excellent  knowledge  of  your  architecture  and  your
hardware;   you   need   a  thouroughunderstanding  of  the  required
initialization procedure on your hardware (CPU,  timers,  interrupts,
I/O, devices, ...), and standard low-level programming techniques (C,
assembler, linker scripts).

Summary: expert level.

No, we cannot. This is the U-Boot mailing list, and we're  discussion
U-Boot only.
