We don't have udbg support for these chips anywhere.  I usually just dump the
logbuffer from an external debugger (or bisect with a branch-to-self using the
external debugger to see if it was reached, if the logbuffer is empty) when
there's a boot problem.  It'd be nice to have; it just never got done.
