I am not even sure I recall its name, bist, I think.

EDIT 1: Yes, it is called bist (Built In Self Test) - that should be the full featured build of u-boot if you want to try it from the u-boot menu.

EDIT 2: Ah, I see you already did that. Thanks, that is indeed still the fuller featured build of u-boot.

Really, really, nice to see that lab126 hasn't (yet) thought through the locking down of an embedded *nix (Unix) system machine.
