For God's sake Helgis,

The u-Boot you download from the Net is very generic. Hyperion have done a lot of work that hasn't yet been sent back up the source tree. Stick with the u-Boot you have (it'll work fine) and ask your dealer for info on updating it. If necessary, which I doubt.
Get used to your board before you try harebrained schemes like that. Look at how much it cost you, and ask yourself if you shouldn't spend a lot of time getting to know your AOne before taking wild risks with it.

Rule of thumb: if you don't know exactly what you're doing,  don't do it.
