Merging Facedancer & Raspberry-Pi

Why?

Facedancer11 is a one-purpose version of the flexible GoodFET board.
It was well designed to move all the intelligence into the host controller, not in the embedded uC.
Facedancer11 hardware can be seen as:

 USBconn -- FT232RL -- MSP430F2618TPM -- MAX3420E -- USBconn

where the first two chips are only converting busses:

 USBconn -- FT232RL -- MSP430F2618TPM -- MAX3420E -- USBconn
         USB   <>   UART     <>       SPI   ...   (USB)

BoM view (excluding taxes, Farnell prices):

 USBconn -- FT232RL -- MSP430F2618TPM -- MAX3420E -- USBconn
 USBconn +  5.45€   +  13.03€         +  8.27€    +  USBconn

So 18.48€ to talk SPI over UART over USB while the Raspberry-Pi has natively SPI, hmmm.
Bus speed view:

 USBconn -- FT232RL -- MSP430F2618TPM -- MAX3420E -- USBconn
        12MB/s      115200bauds       26MHz


Let's try to make a RPi extension board with only the MAX3420E. And to save a few cents and construction pain let's replace the USB connector by a USB cable from a cannibalized mouse. So:

                        RPI-MODA-256M -- MAX3420E -- USBcable

From a BoM point of view this becomes (depending on what you add to the RPi, nice casing etc):

                        RPI-MODA-256M -- MAX3420E -- USBcable
                        27.66€        +  8.27€

Bus speed view:

                        RPI-MODA-256M -- MAX3420E -- USBcable
                                      26MHz

And we get a fully autonomous facedancer which can be even powered over USB and controlled remotely
