these basically define the pinouts (ls180.py) and the peripherals
(ls180soc.py) for the 180nm ASIC.  versa_ecp5.py is for building
libresoc to run on a VERSA ECP5 FPGA developer board from Lattice
Semi.  the other relevant one is "sim.py" which just runs libresoc or
microwatt through verilator and a simulated suite of peripherals.

oh i got JTAG running (in sim.py) by using the litex "jtagremote"
module, i was amazed that it worked after connecting openocd to it.
the only problem being: there's not one single powerpc processor
defined in openocd!  wark-wark.

i will look tomorrow at the c4m jtag-svf code to see if it can be
adapted to "talk" to openocd-compliant network devices.
