* The documentation is only available under NDA, a problem for open source debuggers.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.
