+Support for new FTDI based adapters can be added competely through

The driver uses a signal abstraction to enable Tcl configuration files to
define outputs for one or several FTDI GPIO. These outputs can then be
will be used for their customary purpose. Inputs can be read using the
@command{ftdi_get_signal} command.
+To support SWD, a signal named SWD_EN must be defined. It is set to 1 when the
+SWD protocol is selected. When set, the adapter should route the SWDIO pin to
+the data input. An SWDIO_OE signal, if defined, will be set to 1 or 0 as
+required by the protocol, to tell the adapter to drive the data output onto
+the SWDIO pin or keep the SWDIO pin Hi-Z, respectively.

Depending on the type of buffer attached to the FTDI GPIO, the outputs have to
be controlled differently. In order to support tristateable signals such as
nSRST, both a data GPIO and an output-enable GPIO can be specified for each
before initializing the JTAG scan chain:
