Hello
I'm trying to run armbian (or any other custom linux) on my NAS TerraMaster F4-210/2G (SoC Realtek RTD1296 based). It has uart connector (the same connector and pins as Zidoo X9S).
So I've created USB stick with Fat32, put uImage and device tree files into it, created another ext2 partition to use as root. Took uImage from banana-pi-w2 just to check things. And used the following command to load my kernel from uboot (there is no b2ndbc command in my uboot):
Realtek> env set bootargs earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x98007800 console=ttyS0,115200 noinitrd root=/dev/sda1 rootfs=vfat
Realtek> usb start && fatload usb 0:1 $kernel_loadaddr uimage && fatload usb 0:1 $fdt_loadaddr tm_f4-210.dtb && env set bootargs earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x98007800 console=ttyS0,115200 noinitrd root=/dev/sda2 rootfs=ext2 init=/bin/bash && bootr

After that original kernel loaded instead of mine.
Then I tried to use bootm - also without any luck
Realtek> usb start && fatload usb 0:1 $kernel_loadaddr uimage && fatload usb 0:1 $fdt_loadaddr tm_f4-210.dtb && env set bootargs earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x98007800 console=ttyS0,115200 noinitrd root=/dev/sda2 rootfs=ext2 init=/bin/bash
&& bootm $kernel_loadaddr - $fdt_loadaddr
Wrong Image Format for do_booti command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
I didn't find any documentation on bootr command which stays for `bootr - boot realtek platform`. So my questions are:
is it possible to get info from current stock uboot or devtree or kernel. Or what image type is required by bootm.

Also in my device-tree I see the following:
