Can the Flight MCU talk to both the USB-to-serial converter and the MHX transceiver at the same time?
No. Only one interface should be active at the same time. Control of the interfaces is under the Flight MCU’s control. The USB-to-serial converter is envisioned as an “on the ground” communications link, and the MHX transceiver is envisioned as an “in-flight” communications link. Therefore you would not normally need to have both active at any time.
