You need to build a zImage so you get the simple
bootloader that will read the information from the EEPROM
and format the board structure.
Load the zImage file as a binary. It has a 64K ELF header
on it, so you can either use 'dd' to strip that before the
download or add 64K to the load address to use as the
start address. The start address is the first instruction of
the image (or +64K if you didn't remove the ELF header).
