Know I'm a bit late, but for me it was much easier to use FT232H-based
USB board as a debug dongle. Initially I also wanted to build that
FX2LP sandwich, but some confusion regarding the revisions (it's a bit
tiresome to ask many sellers for a board revision in advance) and the
need for revision-dependent soldering have scared me off. With a
couple of FT232H from china/aliexpress and two USB extension cables
for them, I didn't need to solder anything except their pin headers,
so it was quite easy for me to get it working with coreboot - just by
enabling CONFIG_USBDEBUG_DONGLE_FTDI_FT232H at its' config. But I
haven't compared what is easier to use from a software side, for
coreboot : FX2LP (which seems to have its' own firmware) or FT232H. It
seems that you don't have a coreboot-supporting board, but maybe you
could still use the sources from /coreboot/src/drivers/usb/gadget.c
for your OS.
