[U-Boot] Marvell Armada XP u-boot from uart

Is it possible to load and boot Marvell Armada XP u-boot completely from uart without spi or nand flash? I have custom board with MV78460 and clean flash memory.
Regards, kon5t.

You can use kwboot I believe. Not sure all the details but there's a reasonable overview at the following link for the Mirabox and I would think it's similar

Correct. kwboot can be used to upload and execute a binary (compiled for UART booting) via UART. Please make sure to use the "-a" parameter for the Armada XP timings.
Thanks, Stefan
