need JTAG debugger - please help

We need a JTAG debugger for board bring-up. Are JTAG debuggers available for rent? Any recommendations/suggestions?

JTAG debuggers start from around 30 EUR and go up to several hundred EUR. Probably cheaper to buy than rent. I presume you have a standard ARM JTAG connector? If so you have lots to choose from but it depends somewhat on which development tools you are using.

The exchange rate must be worse than I thought because they go up to several thousand USD. If you get one that supports real-time tracing, you can spend close to $10K without trying too hard.

For board bring up, the low-end ones generally work fine.

But ARM tracing is not JTAG, it's ETM. ;)

True, but you can still find JTAG (w/o ETM) units that sell for a couple thousand USD. Abatron's BDI3000 sells for about $3K. You can't really get started with a Lauterbach JTAG interface for under $2K-$3K either. Even the Zylin ZY1000 which is designed towork with OpenOCD is over $1K. IIRC, the Mentor/EPI JTAG interfaces are in the $1K-$2K range as well.

That's not to say that the $20-$30 FT232 USB interfaces don't work fairly well...
