For semihosting it is not necessary to include support in u-boot. The 
rvdebug application does that automatically regardless of the binary being 
aware of it or not. You need to alter the CPU/connection definition. It 
has an boolean called Semihosting, toggle this to True and all your output 
will appear in RVDS application.
