I've not heard the term Hosted in reference to the SOC. Semi-hosting is an ARM term for code running on an ARM using the debugger to support I/O.

It can be handy for test scripts, log files, etc. You don't want semi-hosting enabled in your ARM code unless you are running with the debugger and have a debugger configuration that enables semi-hosting.
