Notes

There seems to be an u-boot port for this SoC: https://github.com/MathieuMorrissette/Cotton-Candy

https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/arch/arm/dts/exynos4210.dtsi

the dts for the SoC is upstream, but not for the n7000.

Research on emulating the bootROM: https://fredericb.info/2018/03/emulating-exynos-4210-bootrom-in-qemu.html
