[quote user="Matthijs van Duin"](a small microcontroller would be able to do a much better job)[/quote]
XDS100 has been on the road for several years now, therefore there are changes ahead. Looking at the microcontroller world, for example, there are several new JTAG debuggers based off of their own microcontrollers (all the new TM4C and MSP430 launchpads and the new MSP-FET debugger, for example).
