A little OT, but under what circumstances would a developer require a
debug board?

What do you want to emulate?
If it's the cpu, qemu can do that, but not 100%, so you still need a real
arm920t device
to test on.
If it's the screen, you don't have a 300dpi screen on your desk, so you still
need a real
device to see if the gui makes sense.
If it's the touchscreen, you also need a real device.
If it's the gsm modem, you still need a external modem.
If it's just the apps, Xoo is good enough.
Running openmoko built natively inside Xoo/Xephyr/Xnest is Good Enough(tm) for
the biggest
part of people trying to get an idea of openmoko.
The strenght of openmoko is that it (re)uses 'desktop' technologies for nearly
everything,
so you don't need a VM to run symbian in or hack in a virtual framebuffer to
get
'embbeded' guis do display. It's just plain old X.
Please don't stare yourself blind on an 'emulator', since your desktop already
emulates
90% of the openmoko tech.
It will be a while before I get my hands on a Neo (March?) but I'd
really like to start coding now.
You can already do that without an emulator.
