The bootROM copies the DCD data into an area that is not specified, but we can assume is in the IRAM. As part of the boot process, the bootROM copies the image into a DEST memory - this is as it is called in the manuals, and this after the DCD table is parsed and executed. That means that is possible to set dcd_ptr pointint to DDR if the DCD table is programmed to set up the DDR controller, as it is actually done for i.MX51/i.MX53/i.MX6 in u-boot.
