This is what we need. I would like it specifically for the mpc5200.
But we want to use it in OpenOCD so NDA won't work.
It doesn't work. Been  there  a  logn  time  ago.  It's  and  endless
fingerpointing.  Freescale  (by  then:  Motorola)  says  they  cannot
release any information because of their contracts with IBM, and vice
versa.
Dominic is way experienced implementing JTAG for ARM CPUs. He has done
several dozen interfaces. ARM doesn't have any problems releasing
their debugging info.
JTAG is simple, but you don't get the necessery information for the
COP (= debug) interface.
