You're close; ultra is the name given to the proprietary code that runs on all 
the threads not running linux. The ubicom chipsets are hardware multithreaded 
with 8-12 threads -- SMT, think of it as SMP but context switching instead of 
concurrent.

Ultra performs the board initialization and then spawns U-Boot on another 
thread, and continues to run in parallel with Linux. The U-Boot console should 
be enabled but it expects to talk to a programming dongle and not an actual 
serial port.
