Yes, you can.
You need an excellent knowledge of your architecture and your
hardware; you need a thouroughunderstanding of the required
initialization procedure on your hardware (CPU, timers, interrupts,
I/O, devices, ...), and standard low-level programming techniques (C,
assembler, linker scripts).
Summary: expert level.

No, we cannot. This is the U-Boot mailing list, and we're discussion
U-Boot only.
