Assuming the NAND loder does not load U-Boot to it's final location
at the upper end of RAM, but - say - somewhere in lower memory, the
standard relocation preocess will be running, so I think there should
be no real difference between (such) NAND booting systems and NOR
booting ones - or am I missing something?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

If you use modules, you pay the price. Sane embedded solutions
running in "tight" environments don't use modules :-)
