So you have to fix the board ID.
And the fully functional build of u-boot (called: bist) is also too large to run in internal RAM only.
But you should be able to list the available commands in the mini-uboot build that you are running.

Which, if this state was reached solely by an attempt at an image update of the 'main' system can only have happened by failure of the flash chip.

The required data that is missing is stored outside of any image storage area, and is never touched by an image update.

Typically, this state is reached, baring hardware failure, by a person trying the "erase all" selection from the u-boot list of options.

So you need to follow the directions for recovering from the use of "erase all". Even if you didn't select that u-boot action because somehow it did get selected.
uboot > bist fastboot

Warning: fail to get ext csd for MMC!
ERROR: couldn't switch to boot partition

Hmmm...
