Sorry, I didn't see that. I thought he was just asking if u-boot could be modified to run from ram...
ok, i didn't mean to start this tendentious a thread, sorry. what i was after was a way to "test drive" u-boot without committing it to flash, but there might be a simple way around this for me.
currently, i have embedded planet's planet core loader in flash, and i have the ability to compile more images, including a combo image that consists of both a flash burner and some image. i have the ability to load *that* combo image to RAM, and run it, which will burn to flash whatever the accompanying image is. at the moment, this is naturally an updated PC boot loader but there's nothing to suggest that it can't be any arbitrary image, such as u-boot.
anyway, that's getting off topic, so i'll just let this thread die. but i did learn several things from the feedback, thanks.
