Flashing UART or JTAG could be possible with proprietary Nokia flasher.
But there are just very few people with UART access to Nokia N900 so I'm
not sure if somebody has some guideline for UART and flashing.

What is working fine and is heavily tested is booting or flashing via
USB. Some information is in doc/README.nokia_rx51 file, other in 0xFFFF
manpage and I was planning to send a patch with doc update...

 There is support for hardware watchdog. Hardware watchdog is started by
 NOLO so u-boot must kick watchdog to prevent reboot device (but not very
 often, max every 2 seconds). There is also support for framebuffer display
