It apparently supports SDIO 2.0[1] and with that apparently WiFi/Ethernet. I assume one would have to add SPI Flash and boot off that.

Though yeah, I doubt it would be very fast regardless, but it's something.

edit: I assume you're aware of the OTG port.

The board already has spi flash but it’s only 8 or 16mb. Enough for buildroot or maybe openwrt but Debian ain’t going to fit in there.

Not Debian, but there are lots of Linux distros pared down to fit on a single floppy disk. They will run just fine within that amount of RAM.
