I ported u-boot on RPXlite DW version board: RPXlite_DW or LITE_DW.

+A word on the U-Boot enviroment variable setting and usage :
+
+In the beginning, you could just need very simple defult environment variable setting,
+like[include/configs/RPXlite.h] :
+
+#define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND \
+ "bootp; " \
+ "setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=$(serverip):$(rootpath) " \
+ "ip=$(ipaddr):$(serverip):$(gatewayip):$(netmask):$(hostname)::off; " \
+ "bootm"
+
+This is enough for kernel NFS test. But as debug process goes on, you would expect
+to save some time on environment variable setting and u-boot/kernel updating.
+So the default environment variable setting would become more complicated. Just like
+the one I did in include/configs/RPXlite_DW.h.
+
+Two u-boot commands, ku and uu, should be careful to use. They were designed to update
+kernel and u-boot image file respectively. You must tftp your image to default address
+'100000' and then use them correctly. Yeah, you can create your own command to do this
+job. :-) The example u-boot image updating process could be :
+
+u-boot>t 100000 RPXlite_DW_LCD.bin
+Using SCC ETHERNET device
+TFTP from server 172.16.115.6; our IP address is 172.16.115.7

+Finally, if you want to keep the serial port to possible debug on spot for deployment, you
+just need to enable 'DEPLOYMENT' in RPXlite_DW.h as 'DEBUG' does. Only the special string

I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitute to kind people for helping me work it out.
I would particually thank Wolfgang Denk for his nice help.
