I think he was talking about the new "ARM-USB-OCD" and not about the
simple parallel port Wiggler clone from Olimex.

Actually, the Olimex JTAG seems to work very well with uVision3 when
H-JTAG is used as the RDI agent between them. I've only tried it a few
times since I prefer a different toolset, but it worked well on the
tiimes that I tried it.

How do you know that? Isn't wiggler clone (from where is original
design)? What about AVR USB JTAG? I think that even design of
ARM-USB-OCD is from somewhere else (upgraded of course, but so what).

Hear hear. If the Olimex JTAG could work with uVision it would be
perfect. I will almost be enough reason to purchase uVision. I havent
seriously tried IAR but uVision seemed sufficient for my purposes
except for the expensive and slow jtag. n-link might change that.
I'd rather buy Olimex than n-link, even at $19 more.

I understand what you're saying and I know your JTAG device is not a
clone of anyone else's.
I saw on Keil's site that they have an app note that tells how you can
interface any JTAG hardware to their uVision IDE. Also, Luminary has
done this with their integrated USB JTAG device on their dev boards.
Have you considered interfacing your JTAG device to uVision?

I dont know how legal is it to buy and use n-link in a production
environment given that it impersonates another hardware, after all
most Wigglers are clones of the original. I wish uvision allowed the
use of a wiggler or the Olimex USB JTAG.
I'd happily pay for U-link or j-link if it worked as reliably as the
hardware it debugs with no misfires and disconnections at all.

Strange, I'm using both a home-made and an Olimex-made wiggler with
Rowley CrossStudio and it works really well, both debug and flashing
on the LPC2000 varieties I've tested it on. Rowley also have their own
USB JTAG (CrossLink) that's a bit faster. I only have experience
through the LPC2138 EVB that has it integrated, so I've debugged
the larger programs elsewhere, with the wigglers.
But I still miss the one-wire BDM of the Freescale HCS12 I used
before...

N-Link is nothing but pirated version of U-Link produced in Thailand,
these guys are quite active on eBay so I wonder how ARM/Keil didn't
noticed them yet ;)
Keil didn't do any protection of their JTAG hardware and actually
there are many plans how to make U-Link on the internet, it's
basically Cypress chip with external EEPROM where the USB ID for U-
Link is stored, all code is loaded in the Cypress chip RAM during the
USB enumeration by the DLL so as far you put the USB ID for U-Link in
the EEPROM you can make your own U-Link.
For the last few months I got at least 3 proposals from China to
start selling "their" Keil U-link compatible JTAGs but said no thanks!
