The software needs to decide how it wishes to signal its own
termination, then some piece of sid configuration needs to map that to
a signal to the cfgroot stop! pin.  

If the sw-gloss* is not used, nor is gdb, then you could jury-rig what
is in effect a breakpoint using triggerpoints (connect the
watch:pc:value:0xsomething pseudo-pin on the cpu to the cfgroot
stop!).

Or you could wire up a virtual device such as hw-glue-probe-bus into
the bus mapper tree at some particular address, then poke at that
address from the arm software code.
