no u-boot.bin won't work when using a recent version of u-boot, you
_must_ use u-boot.imx

maybe you can try to build u-boot with an older toolchain from Linaro to
be sure you don't hit a toolchain problem.
And if you can try to use dd on a Linux box at least you will be sure
that it's not a configuration problem with the windows tools and
u-boot.imx.
