currently I try to bring up a LH7A404 board with a M-Systems G3 Disc on Chip as the boot device. Is it possible to modify das u-boot to be used in such an environment? Or has anyone already made an effort in this direction?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "boot device". It is no problem to use DoC as boot device for an OS, for example to load a Linux kernel from it and/or use it as filesystem later.
The device has a 2k xip area from where an initial loader could move the rest of das u-boot to ram to execute it from there.
You would have to write your own separate bootstrap loader then. IMHO this is not woth the trouble.
