[PATCH v6 2/3] arch/riscv: add semihosting support for RISC-V

Wed Dec 7 12:42:35 CET 2022


We add RISC-V semihosting based serial console for JTAG based early
debugging.

The RISC-V semihosting specification is available at:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-semihosting-spec/blob/main/riscv-semihosting-spec.adoc
