Description

We should build a generic bootloader, that later will probably be replaced by a secure bootloader in a minion.

But for now it should follow the following precedence:
- Check a specific address on an memory-mapped debug module that overwrites the boot, currently only to "boot from RAM"
- Mount SD and load program to RAM, jump to RAM
- Mount FPGA Flash, load program and jump to RAM
