Re:Reset after download (Keil) + FT2232
In response to your first question, as you've noted, Keil tools do not support MCU reset. To avoid reaching for the reset button on the target board I can think of a couple of other options apart from entering the debugger and selecting Run. You could use the LMFlashProgrammer utility (use the GUI version and leave running in the background). LMFlashProgrammer has options to automatically reset the target. The command-line version of LMFlash can also be run from within Keil. Go to 'Options for Target' > Utilities to set this up. LMFlash can do a core reset over JTAG.
For your second question the answer is - it depends. We routinely use RedSuite and CodeSourcery with the Virtual Com port. With Keil tools we find that it's usually OK, but you typically have to start the debugger before connecting to the virtual Com port. Admittedly, this is a bit of a nuisance if you're starting and stopping the debugger.
