Comparing side-by-side:

/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi2/u-boot.bin
/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi2/bootcode.bin

Someplace crochet is coming up with the name bootcode.bin
instead of u-boot-bin .

You could look around with something like:

grep -r bootcode.bin /u0/crochet/

I'll note that (for reference):

# more /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi2/README
U-Boot loader for Raspberry Pi 2

To install this bootloader, copy u-boot.bin in the share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi
directory to the first partition, formatted as FAT16 or FAT32, on an SD card.
You will also need the firmware files from the rpi-firmware package.

This version is patched so that:
 * ELF and API features are enabled.
 * The distroboot command knows how to load FreeBSD loader(8)
 * By default, it loads ubldr.bin (PIE) from file ubldr.bin on the FAT
   partition to address ${kernel_addr_r}, and launches it. If ubldr.bin is
   not found, it falls back on ubldr
