The download page has this nice little notice:
DISCLAIMER: You have to open the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT and solder on PCB. Please
note that the LEGO Group warranty of the NXT is invalid after doing this.
Neither IAR Systems nor the LEGO Group will take any responsibility of damages
done to your NXT once it has been opened. We strongly recommend previous
knowledge of soldering on PCB and open electronics.

Is this required or intended for in circuit debugging?

I can see how it could un-brick after a bad firmware load.

(...) This is only for debugging purpose! (...) Fortunately the processor has a special boot mode to recover from that without ressorting to JTAG. But I appreciate the concept of "un-bricking a bricked NXT brick" ;o) Philo (15 years ago, 4-Mar-09, to lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
