Can this be in done in u-boot. if i want to use u-boot what changes do u think i need to do?.

Yes, this can be done. The client just has to generate commands for the U-Boot command line. Unfortunately this means that the client also must have access to the serial console port.

If you only want a network connection between client und target, you either have to use netnonsole (doc/README.NetConsole) or write your own application. Probably you would like to use U-Boot's netconsole code as a reference implementation.

Keep in mind that U-Boot is not a multi-tasking OS so it is not possible to let such a test server run in the backgroud. U-Boot doesn't use interrupts (on most platforms).
