There has never been any formal ECCN assignment for U-Boot - at least
none that I know of.  On the other hand, it is a a free Software
project that shares some code, some community and a lot of the
development methods with the Linux kernel and some distributions that
include and use these.  So it is eventually a pretty safe guess to use
the same ECCN.

For example, the Fedora Export Control Product Matrix at [1] uses
5D002 for the Fedora Linux distribution. The same ECCN is also used
by the Linux Foundation's Yocto Project [2] which includes U-Boot for
a number of board configurations.

So my best bet is that  5D002  is also a suitable ECCN for U-Boot.

But then - IANAL ...
