LPCXpresso and LPC-Link without source code

Is it possible to use LPCXpresso with LPC-Link to program a .axf or .bin file into my processor and then receive messages back via the console window without all of the source code in a project.

The reason: Production need to program devices and receive the results of self test and I don't want them to be able to corrupt the code.

Or maybe there is a better way. Any ideas welcome.

The UART is already in use within the board so I have to use the debug port for self-test reporting as it is the only wired connection available to the outside world.

I have found that I can use any project, copy my .axf file into it and set up a debug configuration that doesn't perform a rebuild and points to my .axf file.
The debugger then may tell me that it cannot find the source code but it still programs and runs my .axf file.

I'm using 'GUI flash programming tool' with test program as AXF and UART output.
