Hi Warner, Hi Olivier,

thanks for your replys. 

The target plattform TMS470 has in the first step only 384k flash and 32k 
RAM.
When you say the kernel has a size by ~1MByte then I can only hope that 
this size can decreased. 
Then when I've only 32k RAM and I try to shrink a zipped kernel, I becomes 
trouble during the unpack proccess on the target.
So, that I believe that I can't shrink the kernel via gzip e.g.

But I'm should not lost the hope. Up's is that the right word? I dont 
know.

Ok, in a couple of days I know more ??? 
Or not, I'll see.


Warner, 
has you finished your work on the port successfully?
Or has you broken up this work, because it was too hard to solve the 
problems?


Cheers,

Karsten
