Ok then I assume you had a pre-installed working UBL (User Boot Loader)
in NAND @ Block 1 (0-indexed), that would initialize the board HW (EMIFA
timings, SDRAM refresh cycles, etc) load block 2 in memory (U-Boot)and
executes it. Then you could just overwrite the U-Boot NAND partition
using U-Boot tftp and nand erase / write.e commands.
But AFAIU if you don't have an UBL (E.G. because you don't have a CCS
license to modify/rebuild it) you can workaround it by using the AIS
generator that generate a "self-bootable" image. In this case we want
the OMAP-L138 RBL (ROM Bootloader) to read the AIS image from NAND (@
block 1, where the UBL is normally stored) configure the HW and start
executing U-Boot.
Does this tell you anything ?
