I am trying to build a uboot image of size 90k.
90 k is a funny size. It does not match typical flash sector sizes. How did you come to such a size restriction?
Is there any possibility to compress some parts of uboot and decompress into the memory when needed?
No. if you think about the code needed to do that you will soon see that this does not fit into U-Boot's design principles (easily portable, provide success [and error!] messages as early as possible, etc.).
Also i am open to any suggestions which can help me to redue the image size close to 90k
Use latest compilers, i. e. GCC 4.x; they optimize much better than older versions.
