Please pay more attention to the questions asked. These people ask if
they can build an image, and before burning it to flash, load it to
RAM and test it. If this is working, they want to burn the very same
image to flash.

And this cannot be done in the general case. Exceptions may exist.

Right, so you are  running  *modified*  code,  and  don't  get  *any*
evidence that the flash configuration will work.
