linux: add support of Synopsys ARC770-based boards This patch introduces support of new boards with ARC cores. [1] Synopsys SDP board This is a new-generation development board from Synopsys that consists of base-board and CPU tile-board (which might have a real ASIC or FPGA with CPU image). It sports a lot of DesignWare peripherals like GMAC, USB, SPI, I2C etc and is intended to be used for early development of ARC-based products. [2] nSIM This is a virtual board implemented in Synopsys proprietary software simulator (even though available for free for open source community). This board has only serial port as a peripheral and so it is meant to be used for runtime testing which is especially useful during bring-up of new tools and platforms. What's also important ARC cores are very configurable so there're many variations of options like cache sizes, their line lengths, additional hardware blocks like multipliers, dividers etc. And this board could be used to make sure built software still runs on different HW configurations.

arc770: Introduce images for SD-cards Historically on ARC we started from initramfs-based images because: a) It was much easier to debug especially when toolchain and other components were changing quite dynamically b) It was our usual approach for embedded Linux But now with ARC port of Lede/OpenWRT getting more stable and mature we're ready for more real-life scenarios with FS permanently stored on SD-card. This essentially benefits from ability to setup devices that survive reboots with all settings and extra packages kept in place. Still we keep an ability to build images with initramfs. This allows us to use storage-less simulators for testing still. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com> Cc: John Crispin <john@phrozen.org> Cc: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
