the image is build correctly if the file u-boot.bin is
generated. another question is if this image is appropriate for your
board

in order to start U-Boot from RAM you must define
CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT and CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT. the memory
address depends on your board. for a edb9302 try 0x01000000, for
edb9302a 0xc1000000
be aware that even if the U-Boot image starts from RAM this doesn't
mean automatically that it will boot on your board. when booting from
RAM low-level initialization is skipped (i.e. the environment set up
by redboot is used), when U-Boot boots from flash it is in charge to
do the low-level init.
> 3. How can I burn the u-boot image if I find every thing ok?
if your board is a Cirrus Logic edb9302, refer to the paragraph
"Download Utility" in chapter 7 of the technical reference
manual. otherwise consult the manual provided by your board
manufacturer.
i think you could skip step 2 (try to load U-Boot from RAM), as you
can always restore your RedBoot bootloader using the same procedure as
for flashing the U-Boot image
btw, which version of U-Boot are you using, the current development
version or a custom one?
best regards
