Why would you want to do that? It is usually much easier to debug the
original code following the designed-in steps of the initialization
sequence.
It is actually not difficult to make the code to be startable from
RAM, but it requies some modifications, and you have to know exactly
what you are doing.
The fact that you have to ask if this is possible suggests that you
should better try to get the original code running (from flash). [No
offence meant, just speaking from experience.]
Best regards,

You could end up being oddly sad and full of a strange, diffuse com-
passion which would lead you to believe that it might be a good idea
to wipe out the whole human race and start again with amoebas.
