It does not have a sd/mmc device just raw flash. It isn't clear if they ever finished upstreaming their patches to U-Boot either. If you can build a version of U-Boot that supports their flash configuration and EFI and then put it on the device via FEL/USB you should be able to install a root filesystem onto a USB drive with some kind of networking attached via USB as well. Or just get a less horrible system.
