Yes, I understand that neither MBasic nor the
BasicATOM Pro support USB. My suggestion was to
include a CP210x chip in the design which acts to
convert USB<->Serial. Essentially it would be like
building a USB/Serial cable right into the system.

Since the CP210x parts are surface mount and only
slightly less expensive than a USB<->Serial cable,
it's probably better to skip it entirely and let those
who need it buy the converter cable if required.
