Yes it should work, we use the U-Boot sdp command to download a squashfs
based ramdisk in our Toradex Easy Installer:

Is VID/PID showing up in Device Manager?

We did saw some problems with certain USB host implementation, so it
might be a device dependency... I would also try a different
machine/maybe Linux machine...

Yeah assuming you use the Toradex branch of imx_loader currently this
should work.

Our script looks like this:
mx6_usb_sdp_uboot
#hid/bulk,[old_header,]max packet size, {ram start, ram size}(repeat
valid ram areas)
hid,1024,0x10000000,1G,0x00907000,0x31000
#Load complete FIT image to $ramdisk_addr_r
tezi.itb:load 0x12100000
#Load script to $loadaddr and jump to it
boot-sdp.scr:load 0x12000000,jump 0x12000000
