The wiki page only speaks about AM335x Board and the steps are tested on AM335x Board. 

Also, just for info
1. Make sure while loading the u-boot-spl.bin, the Teraterm is using X-Modem 
protocol to send the Image

2. For sending u-boot.img, Teraterm should be using y-modem protocol.

Also, can you try with the latest Version of Teraterm. Old version had some issues 
with x & y modem protocol.
