U-Boot 1.1.4 (Feb 6 2012 - 14:40:46) Marvell version: 3.4.27 Netgear version: Uboot-1_1_4-NetgearDUOV3-V1008

On Marvell hardware, you can send a different U-Boot using the serial port, even if the on-flash U-Boot is broken. Have a look at tools/kwboot.c in the mainline U-Boot sources. It uses the serial port to send using the Xmodem protocol, a new U-Boot payload to the Kirkwood SoC.

Best regards,
