*Use semihosting for console*

Type: ``bool``

.. code-block:: none

    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.
