[coreboot] brainstorm: new LPC dongle from Artec Group

[bari]

Take a look at the VHDL source for both the the Xilinx and Altera fpga's at
http://www.sump.org/projects/analyzer/

All the work is almost done for you. Just add your LPC VHDL and build on 
the Java interface for a complete, spi and lpc interface plus flash 
emulator and logic analyzer, with serial, usb (host and device) and vga 
ports.
