You can omit the RomBoot step if you are able to build an U-Boot which
fits into ~12KB of the internal SRAM.

RomBoot has to be adopted to your target hardware, especially for CPU
clock and memory initialisation. The Atmel provided RomBoot can only be
compiled with ARM ADS but there is also a GCC version available:
