Are you sure there is no BDM  connector  somewhere  (or  10  "unused"
solder pads or so) ?

It depends. Ir may be possible, or may be not  (some  may  be  hidden
under  the  CPU,  and there is no way to contact themin such a case).
And it depends on how much effort you put into this - and if the  box
is worth such an effort.

Without a detailed hardware documentation (read:  schematics)  and/or
sources  for  the existing software it will be definitely non-trivial
to get anything else running on such a board.
