Almost all knowledge i had about rk3066 boot process was from Heiko and 
bootrom disassembly.

Andy, do you have any output on serial console ? (TPL, Uboot-spl or 
anything else)
Can you compile u-boot with #define DEBUG in rk3188_common and send the 
output?
Also you can check size of u-boot tpl (less than 1kb), u-boot spl + tpl 
(less than sram size on rk3188, i think it's 32KB)? This is important as 
you wont get any output on serial console if you don't meet this conditions.
Also on rk3066 bootmerger FlashBoot size + FlashData size should be less 
than 256KB (32KB for FlashData, and the rest for FlashBoot, if it's more 
than 256KB, you get few lines of errors when flashing with upgrade_tool 
and might have no output on serial console)

One more thing ... to boot from usb with openssl rc4 method on rk3066 i 
think only one back to bootrom is needed, two if you are booting from nand.

Cheers
Paweł
