No. The U-boot supplied on the Trim-Slice is very simplistic in the way it boots: It looks for a compiled script called "boot.scr" in four possible local storage locations. The script can then boot over the network, but you've got to have the script in a local location in the first place. http://www.trimslice.com/wiki/index.php/Trim-Slice_U-Boot [You could also patch U-boot. It's apparently stored in some on-motherboard serial flash memory.] Which leads me to a rant about ARM. Grrrr RANT!! I didn't think I'd ever love the BIOS, but compared to the alternatives (UEFI and a million different ARM bootloaders) it's simple and effective.
