Thanks. I quickly realised that was the problem when i typed help at the prompt and found the ext4load command missing.
 
Going to download the sources next so i can build my own test images and get a bit more familiar with the build process. I have built my own Armbian images in the past for CB2, but that was before it was even called Armbian and only supported CB2 and cubietruck. A lot has changed since then

Ext4 support is missing in odroid-specific u-boot config - added with a patch, will need a new test image

OK. I finally got to boot up the image. Got the following:
