What’s ramdisk.gz have? And zImage? What’s the function of them?

ramdisk.gz is a compressed disk image that gets loaded into the target’s RAM. It contains all the scripts and service utilities required to boot, and possibly also your target application.
zImage is a gzip compressed version of your kernel including a decompressor routine. It gets loaded into RAM by the bootloader where it’s uncompressed and then executed.
