Using ubldr requires a u-boot that has the 'API' feature enabled. Virtually no u-boot comes that way from a vendor. I don't think the feature even existed when the kirkwood systems were current. To enable that, all you need to do is add the CONFIG_API option when building u-boot. I'm not sure that's the exact spelling, but look at the patches that get applied to rpi or beaglebone, it'll be like that. -- Ian
