1. U-boot version for Tizen?
Is there a special version of U-boot for Tizen which is located somewhere in
the Tizen source tree?
Or will the Sunxi's U-boot version will be enough to boot Tizen?

It is recommended to use the linux-sunxi fork of Das U-Boot:
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi

There is a version of U-Boot for Tizen but so far it is targeting Odroid and the Tizen developer devices trats (RD-210) and trats2 (PR-PQ) only. Information about U-Boot for Tizen has been revealed during LinuxCon Europe:
http://sched.co/1xmhyG4

In another talk during the same event Hans de Goede revealed the status of U-Boot for Sunxi devices. As far as I remember he announced that the mainline U-Boot is (or will be soon) compatible with A10 & A20. More details regarding his presentation are available at:
http://sched.co/1xmrE9N


2. Tizen kernel source?
As far as I understood (and I actuallty installed it myself) the freshest version of the Sunxi's kernel for A20 is 3.4. There are no kernels above 3.4
that will work with all the Cubieboard 2's hardware features.
Is this also true for Tizen? Or there is some newer kernel version somewhere
in the Tizen's source tree?

Tizen:Common and IVI require kernel 3.14 LTSI but at the moment the latest stable version of the kernel for Sunxi devices is 3.4. There are ongoing initiatives among the linux-sunxi community to support mainline kernel on A20 but a lot of things are still not working properly.

Anyway, you can boot Tizen:Common (and most probably IVI) using linux-sunxi kernel 3.4 on A20 devices. Pay attention that you have to adjust the FEX configuration file and to generate script.bin that matches the hardware of your board. Check this wiki article for hints:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Fex_Guide


In other words where should I take the sources for the U-boot and the kernel
to boot latest Tizen IVI 3.0 on an A20 board?

OK, long story short: please check the following links :)

More information about Tizen on sunxi devices and open-source hardware is available at the talk that Phil and I did during Tizen Developer Summit last month:
