That's the theory, yes. There is no guarantee that the memory contnt
will remain in place unchanged or at all.

Memory cells don't use their content immediately. Usually they will
keep their content for many milliseconds, often even seconds, before
single bits start flipping. Usually U-Boot startup is fast enough to
keep all memory content in place unchanged. Of course, you cannot
guarantee for this, but it works pretty reliably - and in any case
good enough for debugging purposes.

Why don't you just try it out?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
