ls1046ardb: Add support for JTAG boot
This adds support for booting entirely from JTAG while using a
hard-coded RCW. With these steps, it is not necessary to program a
"good" RCW using CodeWarrior. The method here can be performed with any
JTAG adapter supported by OpenOCD, including the on-board CMSIS-DAP
(albeit very slowly).
These steps require LS1046A support in OpenOCD, which was added in [1].

Unfortunately, +this configuration disables most functionality, including the uarts and ethernet. +However, the SD/MMC and flash controllers are still functional. To get around +the lack of a serial console, we will use ARM semihosting instead. When +enabled, OpenOCD will interpret certain instructions as calls to the host +operating system. This allows U-Boot to use the console, read/write files, or +run arbitrary commands (!). + +When configuring U-Boot, ensure that ``CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING``, +``CONFIG_SPL_SEMIHOSTING``, and ``CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING_SERIAL`` are enabled. +``{ SW5[0:8], SW4[0] }`` should be ``0100_1111_0``. Additionally, ``SW4[7]`` +should be set to ``0``.

The CMSIS-DAP adapter is slow, so this can take a +long time. If you don't see it, something has gone wrong. After a while, you +should see the prompt. You can load an image using semihosting by running:: + + => load hostfs - $loadaddr <name of file> + +Note that openocd's terminal is "cooked," so commands will only be sent to +U-Boot when you press enter, and all commands will be echoed twice. +Additionally, openocd will block when waiting for input, ignoring gdb, JTAG +events, and Ctrl-Cs.
