Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| Which brought me to the next idea: Write a tiny "just do the basic
| setup and prepare the kernel TAGs" stubcode, that would be uploaded
| to steppingstone and executed until breakpoint, so that JTAG can be
| used to upload the kernel into SDRAM, and then execution resumed in
| the kernel image with registers r0, r1, r2 pointing to the parameter
| structures.
|
| And now I see, that such kind of project is already in work :-)

You have to do a bit more like ATAGs to get kernel to start... you can
find ATAG generation in phase2.c

and OpenOCD script in there to do it all from scratch via steppingstone.
