I personally don't have any JTAG equipment, but happened to have a USB TTL cable lying around.  At this point, both Jari and I have working SD access, and I just managed to do a successful UFS install to eMMC and got a booting system, so at this point I think local-style development over serial is actually workable!

I initially tried a ZFS install, and while installation succeeded, the eMMC (hardware) module started throwing errors when booting from the resulting ZFS root. It's possible Jari's clock support might fix that, I'll have to try later. I don't have a spare eMMC module lying around to see if it's just the physical module.
