This u-boot version includes commit 7161a5f68 "sunxi: Enable SPL/SPI boot for OLinuXino Lime2". Writing to the flash[1], however, requires building sunxi-tools from source, as v1.4.2 is too old. To enter FEL mode, press the recovery button while connecting to a computer with mini-USB. The recovery button is the one closest to the HDMI port.

I tested with both SD and SPI flash. I did not test network boot, but u-boot was able to detect when the Ethernet cable was plugged in. A USB keyboard also worked.
