I'm looking to buy a JTAG programmer, but I don't really want to have to shell out a lot of money every time I use a different family of microcontroller.

Could anyone tell me if there are any general purpose options out there that will work on most devices? I've purchase some TI CC2450 microcontrollers, but also want to be able to program some TI TMS320C28xxx family and ARM Cortex M3 controllers that I have lying around as well. Would any jtag programmer, such as AVR's JTAG ICE be able to program these?

Ideally I'd like to avoid spending a lot on a JTAG programmer, maybe just around the £15-25 mark if that was possible.
 

I'm not sure that you will find JTAG programmer that will support all TI products. TI is working on some universal JTAG ARM based tool that will be used on MSP430 Wolverine Launchpad, but don't know full story related to this.

Anyway, if you want fastest programmer on planet for MSP430, I am working on this. :shock:

I won't be using an MSP430, so I'm afraid that won't be much use to me.

Is JTAG not a standard protocol? Surely someone must know if there is a JTAG programmer that will work across the board.
