The J-Link comes with a Windows DLL that provides a proprietary
(closed) implementation of the RDI debug commands. They also make a
J-link server that surfaces a TCP/IP interface to the RDI commands and
that API is open and supported  by gdb. Gdb is a commandline debugger
that has GUI wrappers in the form of Insight and Eclipse.

The J-link currently cannot be used on any host OS other than Windows.

I don't know much about CrossConnect/CrossWorks but I understand it
works on both Windows and linux. I think this is the only USB JTAG
device that works on linux. But I don't think this provides an open API?
