Yes.

Thinking aloud: maybe a custom u-boot that downloads a kernel using tftp could do...
To initialize DRAM one must setup a bunch of registers. The exact initialization sequence could be found in Amazon's U-Boot source.

Initialization (writing to registers) could be made with the help of ordinary code or through DCD.

And remember, just a part of 128kb of OCRAM is free for arbitrary use (refer to Reference Manual for details).
