Is there a LED on the board? Then you could use it for bisecting the
code. Setting up a console is not that easy as it may require setting
up the iomuxer. Another way would be to setup a regular U-Boot on the
board and start the MLO from there. Then you can just do a writel to
the UARTs tx register.
