The RTL provides a run-time link editor which allows you to load code 
with-in your running application. Libdl is the link editor. It is you or 
your code that tells it what to do.

The Init task is your 'main' so this is your code. You are free to 
structure how you manage this just like any other part of your application.

For an engineering development environment I would enable networking 
using libbsd and then NFS mount an exported disk from a host on the 
network. I would place the ELF object files where you can see them from 
the Zedboard and then use the RTL command to load the code.
