[U-Boot] Delay in U-boot Booting , Running U-boot from NOR Flash

Hi, I am using u-boot-2010.03 version, ported u-boot for MIPS32 AU13xx series. U-boot is taking 5-7 seconds to boot after power up.

u-boot.bin is programmed in NOR Flash.

Is there any option to skip relocating to DDR2 (SDRAM) so that I want to check booting u-boot from NOR Flash itself.

Please let me know what is the reason behind this and any solutions to this.

Thanks in Advance
