Have you tried to put the bootrom in the debug mode ?

May be it can helps to understand the 1.11 and 1.21 differences ?
I never played with it. But according to the documentation, it's rather orthogonal to image upload. You get a command line interface. However, I see no command references in the docs.
Might support entering it in kwboot in the future, but I don't see how it's would help with the protocol issues.

@ Daniel: Just 2 thoughts...
1. (less important...) I wonder if it is possible to query the BootROM version via UART... if possible, on detecting 111 @ offset ff00003c, have it print "Not Supported on V1.11 BootROM"
2. (more importantly) : I am actually _just_fine__ w/ the level of function in your current V2. You've already done a good service to those work on Kirkwood stuff, and would want to press anyone into fixing something that they/we didn't break and possibly can't be fixed. [There may well be a reason no one has gotten anything w/ the V1.11 BootROM to work with UART-booting.]
For me, your V2 already feels "mature". Its a big step forward from where we were.
Just my 2 cents, regards & thanks,
Dave
