This is not correct. Before U-Boot relocates the code, it does a lot
of other things, including provide console oputput. So you need some
system initialization, drivers, libraries (for printf() etc.) etc.

You will find that the the part of U-Boot that is needed is bigger
than what it's in your small sector.
