Do you have its target u-boot.img as well? I'm not sure of the behavior
without it. The "CCCC" certainly says it the chip is trying other (serial)
boot modes. Have you tried adding any debug statements to your MLO? How did
you build it? Is the only reason you are confident of its format because
you used it in the FAT partition? Are you certain that this is the code
that ran when you had it in the FAT partition and that it is formatted with
the appropriate headers?

You might share a small hexdump of the head and tail of your MLO.

This one would overwrite the partition information. That isn't good.
