Wow!
I guess Technologic would be the first place to start.... The job
would be much easier if they would provide detailed info about the
jtag interface - starting with: "Is this a good idea? Will it work to
reflash the boards?" :-)
I'm not sure what you call jtag-ICE - what I have is a simple flash
utility. It is not a debugger or emulator by any means; it has no
hooks for runtime debugging.
If the intent is to reflash a dead board or flash a custom image to a
new board, the debrick utility I've worked with would make a good
starting point; AFAIK all it would need is some detailed information
on the type and organization of the various TS boards.
