From 202a674bb8b7d7867503224857a2b0e04617d9b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Walleij Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 11:06:11 +0100 Subject: armv8: semihosting: add a command to load semihosted images Instead of sprinkling custom code and calls over the Vexpress64 boardfile, create a command that loads images using semihosting just like we would load from flash memory of over the network, using a special command: smhload
This will make it possible to remove some custom calls and code and make the boot easier.
