But during developing stages I have no kernel to use so I have to load
it from my host system using the bootloader.

Currently, developing stages are: compile the kernel, transfer it to
the target machine through the ethernet device and then try the boot,
but on my current board I have no ethernet at all, just the USBdev and
I'd like to have a way to transfer my developing kernel through USB
line.

Ciao,
