Thanks for the response. Does u-boot support n810? Can I flash u-boot on n810? Thanks.
No, you would need to port u-boot to the hardware. The OMAP and the necessary built in peripherals shouldn't be a major problem, but you would have to get the rest of the hardware like the SDRAM and other bits & pieces initialized/configured before u-boot will run on the hardware.
Be aware that you need to be very good and extremely lucky to load a new u-boot without bricking your n810. If you try flashing u-boot, you better have an alternate means of reloading the firmware (i.e. a JTAG debugger).
I'm curious: why do you wish to replace the n810 firmware? The current firmware initializes the hardware and boots linux... those are the usual primary reasons for porting u-boot to new hardware.
gvb P.S. I have a n800. It would be cool to have u-boot running on it, but I don't see the pain vs. gain paying off.

Wrong here. This is for 2420 development platform that you see here: http://www.ti.com/omap2420_devplatform
