It probably uses a Cypress chip or something similar, that's all that is needed for JTAG. Leon
Nice IDE for ARM?

Our Embedded CrossConnect and a new prototype CrossConnect uses LPC214x. We are looking at the STR9 as a candidate also, but performance of ARM9-based STR9 at 96MHz is lower than the ARM7-based 60MHz LPC2000 in general use. -- Paul.

The OP asked (preferably free and/or open-source). I guess sales buys will try anything.
