A UsbArmory with no bootable MicroSD will identify as "SE Blank Rita". You can then use the bootloader to inject uBoot (or other executable code) into memory.

Make udev create a nice device node 

# echo 'ATTRS{idVendor}=="15a2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="004e", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="freescale-imx-%k"' |sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/42-freescale.rules
# udevadm control --reload-rules

Download and compile imx_usb_loader, connect your Serial Console, then inject uBoot. If all goes well, the uBoot prompt will appear. 

# ./imx_usb ../uboot/u-boot.imx
