I agree that a generic solution is better, but.... We use the Abatron BDI3000 for our current project (using the bdiGDB firmware for the MPC5xx/8xx). If we want to use this JTAG/BDM with, say an ARM processor, we must pay Abatron appox. half the price of a new BDI when switching firmware. I think the cost here eats up the advantage of having a generic product.

In my last position where we used Microchip processors, I was able to get the Microchip ICD2 JTAG probe/emulator for less than $200 and the windows-based debugger software was free; all from Microchip I must be spoiled.
It's for small micro-controller not ARM9 It's not comparable to a generic ICE which can be updated to support CORTEX A8, PPC, MIPS, etc...
