Help
====

Enable this option to use semihosting for console.
Semihosting is a mechanism that enables code running on an ARM target
to communicate and use the Input/Output facilities on a host computer
that is running a debugger.
Additional information can be found in:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/dui0471/k/what-is-semihosting/what-is-semihosting
This option is compatible with hardware and with QEMU, through the
(automatic) use of the -semihosting-config switch when invoking it.
