Except for most basic tests like writing and reading single cells in
memory which can be done using the "mm" and "md" commands, the most
reasonable approach is a two-pass sort of solution: in the first
pass, bring up U-Boot at least to the extent that it boots from flash
and has the serial console running.
Best regards,
