Debian introduced OpenRD images and later removed them because the

A fix has now been posted upstream:

Grabbed the patch from upstream, included in and built some packages for
you to test:
deb http://cascadia.debian.net/~vagrant/debian UNRELEASED main
Should have a u-boot for armel with the upstream patch applied, and the
openrd* boards enabled.
Please follow-up with how the tests went...
I would like to kindly request that the OpenRD images be restored
for stretch. The reasons are:
* stretch will be the last release to include support for the armel
architecture, so it would be good to get support for this device
as complete as possible.
* While Debian can be installed with the default u-boot shipped on
the OpenRD, the one provided by Debian is much more modern.
On the other hand, there are few OpenRD users, so this is not high
priority.
I haven't spoken to the release team but in the past they have been
supportive towards changes for hardware support.
If testing goes well, we'll see what the release team thinks...
Rick Thomas has offered to test on the OpenRD Ultimate and (I believe)
Client.
And Phil Hands too. Yay!

Sorry it took me so long to get to this test.
Real-life's a demanding mistress!
I'm now running
U-Boot 2016.11+dfsg1-4~20170308~1 (Mar 09 2017 - 01:27:49 +0000)
on my openrd client test machine. It boots just fine.
I'm looking forward to seeing this in Jessie!
Thank you very much!
Rick
I just installed it on my openrd ultimate as well. Works a treat!
Thanks!
Rick
