[U-Boot] Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?

[Dimitar Tomov]

 Hello to All,

My name is Dimitar Tomov. I'm student at Technical University of Sofia (Europe/Bulgaria).
I have interest in embedded systems and some experience with embedded Linux (have develop some specific Linux drivers, but nothing major). 

0. Following "U-Boot Porting Guide" [Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing list, October 2002]: I'm sending this message as I'm really lost in the source code of U-boot and have no clear idea from where to start.

1. My goal is to port U-boot for LPC43xx board (LPC4357-EVB).

2. I made some research and found a port for the Hitex LPC4350 Eval board from Emcraft, also found a port for another LPC43xx based system from Cyril Fougeray for Diwel ( https://bitbucket.org/fouge/u-boot-diwel ).

3. As I looked through the source code of mainstream U-boot I didn't find Cortex-M4 cpu support, is this correct ?

Thank You for Your time in advance. I will really appreciate any starting points or advices.
