Which board is this? Is it a custom Armada 38x board? Or an
already in mainline U-Boot supported board?

The message above is pretty clear:

 > SPL: Unsupported Boot Device!

What is the boot device that you are using? And how are you
initiating the UART boot? Via a software reset (JTAG)? Or
via a power-on reset?

Note:
In general the UART boot does work pretty good. I've not had
problems with it in the last months (AFAIR).

Thanks,
