If you need a really minimalistic bootloader U-Boot will not be the
first choice. The smallest possible U-Boot will be around 100KByte in
size and contain much more than just basic CPU initialisation.

That's the right way if you want to use U-Boot.

Nobody knows what are you requirements. If you need a really
minimalistic bootloader you should take a look at some sample
initialization code from the processor manufacturer.

On certain platforms (e.g. Atmel AT91) even U-Boot will just be used as
a second or third level bootloader. The basic CPU setup has been done
before starting U-Boot.

With best regards
