Depending on the quality of the debugger, JTAG is already about as good as
In Circuit Emulation.
FYI, MSP430 for example has JTAG but you can get full blown ICE as well
from Hitex
amongst other. (there are other MCUs)
I've used ICE on many MCUs, and with JTAG now, I don't think I'd ever want
to use
ICE again, unless it was a DIP package !!!
