I suggest :
1) make it work
2) reduce the memory until it's no more useable using the MEM= command line
parameter.

Your memory needs for running GSM/UMTS/HSDPA/bluethooth, is something like 2-5
% of what you need for OOo ;)
The batterie(s) will only change how much time the system will run, and this is
really out of scope.

Hardware debuggers (as far as I know them) will only let you debugging the
kernel, not the userland. userland can be debugged unsing the same standard
tools available on your x86 (gdb(server), strace, ...).

Before using such big tools, you can probably find where the bug is by simply
examining the stack trace, core dump or such things (perhaps installing
OOo -dbg will help).
Have you searched in the bug report? or posted a bug-report?
I'm sure you're not the only one wanting to make that work.
