As far as Philips LPC2xxx chips are concerned, debug and JTAG _are_ the 
same.
There's no boundary scan implemented on the LPCs, only the debug scan 
chains
that are part of the ARM7TDMI-S core. When CRP is enabled, JTAG/Debug 
doesn't
work. <<

Actually, for once, I can see John's reasoning. The way I understand it. 
the JTAG is just the interface, which happens to carry the signals from 
the debug unit. It could be called the Philanium Doggle Whack interface 
and have a 1,000 bit wide interface, but still be carrying the same 
debug information. It's possibly like calling TCP/IP Ethernet. Just 
because Ethernet normally carries TCP/IP doesn't mean it always is.
