The main difference with your other Cubox-i output is the 'SPL' part. I have no clue about Cubox-i, but on Rockchip/Pine64 devices you (often) can boot from SPI, eMMC and SDcard and its preference is also in that order. So if you have u-boot on SPI (flash), then it'll use that (if it also preferences SPI above others). Which likely means that you could also completely remove the u-boot packages and that has no effect on your ability to boot the device. If you want to try newer u-boot versions, then you need to find out how to either update u-boot in SPI or how to clear the contents of SPI, so it would 'fall back' on u-boot found somewhere else, like SDcard.
