This is certainly doable. The issue is getting the USB stack. The IAR and Keil samples implement HID and Mass Storage devices, but not a communications controller. Certainly, the hardware is capable of doing Serial Emulation. The other issue is ISP. If you want to change your code, the two easy ways are ISP or JTAG. So you might want to expose either of those connectors. On a design I have in process right now, I am bringing out Serial 0 with RTS to enable ISP for the early versions of the product - a safety net for field upgradability. The elegant solution that I is in my product spec is to support IAP via USB to allow the program to be updated.
