Argh... You seem to need new glasses. You not only have  problems  to
read the sources, but also to check sizes.

The U-Boot binary is probably ten times as big  as  your  single  16k
block.


U-Boot will NOT fit into a 16 kB block. And U-Boot cannot be made  to
boot  directly  from  such  a  block.  You  will  need to implement a
different loader.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Documentation is the castor oil of programming.
Managers know it must be good because the programmers hate it so much.
