let me first answer the 1. question:

1. Is it possible to select the boot device (eMMC / flash) at all, and could that pin (SYS_BOOT5 I think?) be exposed, maybe on the Hackerbus next to the UART? In a talk called ARM Snowflakes about test automation, Neil Williams stressed the importance to have an accessible UART (which the Hackerbus will have I believe), and mentioned it is great if an external test machine is able to toggle the boot device also. It could make un-bricking the device easier too?
Neo900 (like N900) already is unbrickable by design. It's also designed to be inherently secure, see http://projects.goldelico.com/p/neo9...es/678/#ic2091

I'll answer the remaining questions later on
