Alas,
it is just the other way around.
The RTCK line is not used by a lot of the JTAG pods around, the ARM7
TDMI-S does use the RTCK.
Look at page 5-3 (105) in the ARM datasheet
(http://www.arm.com/pdfs/DDI0084F_7TDMIS_R3.pdf)
There is a TCK synchronizer in between the 'real' JTAG signals going
into the processor core and the pins
on the LPC2xxx, this circuit makes sure that the JTAG signals are
synchronized to the processor clock.
Any JTAG debugger pod used should make sure that TDO is read with RTCK
used as a clock,
otherwise it may read wrong data.
On the LPC2104/5/6 the RTCK is a seperate pin, not shared with a GPIO
pin and on the LPC213/2/4/6/8
there is only one bit in PINSEL2 to determine if P31-26 are used as JTAG
or GPIO lines.
So even if your JTAG debug pod does not use the RTCK there is no way to
get the extra GPIO pin.
