For example in RAM. Think of a PCI card which is plugged  in  a  host
system,  where  the  host runs some software to upload some code into
the PCI card's memory which then gets executed. See  the  PN62  board
for such a configuration.

There are several other methods to load U-Boot into RAM - for example
by using an initial bootstrap loader as used on some system  to  boot
from NAND flash or dataflash.

Best regards,
