It is indeed a very nice platform to develop on. A development board wouldn't be essential. Everything including burning flash, single stepping and breakpoints can be done through JTAG. A simple $40 interface connects your cross-compiling development system's parallel port to the prototype system. And of course, once you have Linux booting you have full native debugging tools.
