[U-Boot] Relocating to my code.

Correct.  Running from flash makes writing to flash (i.e. updating
images there) somewhat complicated.

Why do you want to run from flash - what exactly are you trying to do?
Did you think about the consequences, i.e. where will your code store
local variables, etc.?

Why do you want to use U-Boot in the first place if you do not want to
use its main functionality?

Cheers
