why is a bootloader required?

hi Mayank!
i think there is separate procedure for accessing bootloader memory and
code memory!
So they are accessed using the same address. its like using same name
to call different persons, each person responds based on the context!
so it is not hard coded!!
Hi all! 
any one got any comments on my explanation!

Does this mean that I can program my at91rm9200 on its at91rm9200-e
through the serial cable (instead of using a hardware device such as th
multi-ice) ?

I tried to do it this way :
Under Uboot :
loadb (to load the binary file at adress 0x21000000)
go 0x21000000 (to execute it)
Wasn't that the right thing to do ?
I tried to load a .bin file generated by arm's 'fromelf', and directly th
axf file. Both failed. Or it looked like they failed.

I'm a little confused whether this is even possible or not. But I can'
believe they'd send us an evaluation board that needs a hardwar
programmer, without the hardware programmer. How would I evaluate it the
?
