I am thinking that I might just take the binary kernel file and compress that file. Then I can deflate that one while I copy the data to the correct places in memory.

But how do I change the Memory map for my uC Linux kernel??? I can set it to use the SDRAM as it's program memory which is just fine. But if I want to have bootloader already running in this memory I cannot just copy the kernel from the base of the memory. I have to somehow make a offset of x bytes. How can this be setup within the IDE or anywhere else???
