+Note: This information is outdated and needs to be updated.

+U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
+MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
+
+The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the
+memory-controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
+memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
+physical-memory banks.
+
+U-Boot is installed in XIP flash memory, or may be loaded into a lower region of
+RAM by a secondary program loader (SPL). After
+booting and sizing and initialising DRAM, the code relocates itself
+to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
+memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
