Probably not. At least I don't know of any port of  U-boot  for  this
board.

BUT: this is off topic here. Please post U-Boot related questions  on
the U-Boot mailing list instead.

Similar is not good enough.

Probably, if you know how to use these tools. Sorry, I'm afraid  there
is little help for these on tyhe U-Boot list.

Is this the correct address for your board? Did you use  the  correct
terminal baudrate?

> I suppose that I can't  debug it with Ice and SingleStep.

You should be able to. If not, return the tools to the vendor and get
your money back.

> Do i have to flash more than just u-boot.bin in right address? 

No.

> (Environment?)

No. If  the  environment  is  invalid  (bad  CRC  checksum),  then  a
compiled-in default environment will be used.

> Do i need  some reg files or prj files?

Dunno.

Sorry, you need a lot more information about the hardware to give any
usable help - and then it requires a non-negligible amount of work to
come up with the right config data. Don't  expect  too  much  from  a
mailing list.

Best regards,
