Actually, the other reason why I though that u-boot for the SMDK2410 may execute out of RAM is that the resulting elf file is linked to reside at address 0x33F80000. The SDRAM on the SMDK2410 lives at address
This is where the code will be copied to once the system has been initialized so far.
If u-boot is to be executed from FLASH, would it be fair to think that <_start> should be at 0x0 (where boot FLASH is living).
No. It's just using enough of position-independent code to bootstrap itself. Remember that this is a bootloader, not a standard application.
