Well, somebody who designed this system must also have had some plan
how to operate the board?

Not having a console port sounds like a really stupid thing to me.

If you have ethenret on your board, you can try netconsole. But it
will be no fun to port U-Boot to such hardware.

I suggest you bring the board back to the hardware guys and ask for a
serial console port, at least for bring-up and debugging.

Best regards,
