Yeah, muxing something like that needs an excuse rather than getting
waved through.  However the two modes are very distinct, you are either
blowing flash in MSP430 or you are seeing Linux console traffic, and the
modality is controlled by and affects only the FTDI interface.

And indeed it was I that proposed tying them together from the start by
JTAG.  We all agree all things being equal we should have them both on
one scanchain.  But they ain't equal.

Like Joerg says we need an eval board and write the applets to blow
flash, etc.
