Placing code in NAND flash

Hello,

I am about to start working on a product that is supposed to contain one LPC2478/CM3 variant with 512[KB] internal flash, replacing a product with 2 such processors. Obviously I have a serious problem with ROM, but the designer assured me that some of the code "will be stored in NAND flash". In order to make that work, to my understanding the code in the NAND flash must be copied, by hand, by the program in internal flash, to absolute addressed in external RAM, to which the code can jump (because scatter loading cannot do it). Debugging is going to be hard; if code in the NAND flash needs to be debugged, first my bootloader/application will have to program the NAND flash because uv4 cannot do it (I think), and only then can a debug session be started. In addition, I don't think I'm going to have any debug information for that code.
Do you have any thought/recommendations/corrections you want to share with me?
Thanks in advance
