not true. I had to use JTAG on arm7tdmi project and the tool from
Macraigor it's not free. I mean the module and the .so that drives the
raven are propietary (object only, no warranty) software. I didn't managed
to make it working for parport problems, kernel symbols incompatibility
and such. I gave up, build a parport-jtag adaptor myself and wrote an
(open-source 100%) jtag downloader and basic debugger. Someday I hope to
have enough time to integrate it with gdb.

I agree 100% with you.

Be aware that I read on an italian electronic magazine that eprom
emulation is patented ..... patents madness :-((((
