There should be quite a few out there. In short: You need a tftpserver
on some other system. Then use in u-boot (for example):
dhcp; tftpboot 0x11000000 /path/to/bootstrap.raw; go 0x11000000

Do not use a gigabit switch, just 100M, at least it made a difference
between not working and working for me.

It is sitting in the pl011 UART driver. Now that's the wrong one.
Looks like wrong platform. Better with:
  make BOOTSTRAP_NO_STRIP=y PLATFORM_TYPE=imx6
?
The platform type can also be set in the l4re config, or put
PLATFORM_TYPE=imx6 into l4/conf/Makeconf.boot.

PLATFORM_UART_NR=1 might still be valid depending on which UART is used.
