Depending on the particular board you=92re using, and what
part of the boot process you=92re testing:
  * A few lines of assembly can blink an LED
  * A few more lines of assembly can bring up a UART
  * Allocate a static buffer and write events into it, then dump the =
buffer after the kernel sets up the console
