As I understand it the Rebel.com production facility uses JTAG boundary scan
to inject the first stage boot code into the boards, and you can use the same
technique to rescue a broken machine after a botched firmware update. But
it's desperately slow - you wouldn't want to program an entire 8Mb device that
way, at least not more than once. If you were replacing the chips by hand and
only dealing with a few boards, you'd probably do better to program the chips
before soldering them down.
