We've been using the BDI-2000 from abatron on an 8248 board.  It's done 
everything we've needed to do so far.  

It has a serial interface, but we use the ethernet port.
Remote debug works well, and other usual tasks also - flash programming, etc. 

Can't comment about developing apps for the debugger, sorry.
