I am not the most experienced person here, but what I've been doing is to compile the firmware with "ramdisk" option, upload the image to RAM from bootloader (via serial interface) using tftp, and booting the image from RAM without flashing it at all. This works nicely for me and the trial cycle is actually pretty fast.
