I am developing a hardware module which uses a chip with embedded MIPS 24KEc processor. From 24KEc® Hard IP Cores, it seems that the MIPS 24KEc is a MIPS 32-bit processor. I am looking for a emulator to jtag the chip? How should I start searching for emulator?

I was recommended by the OEM to use MAJIC probe (or Sourcery probe) but that requires me to buy new hardware+firmware and software which costs a lot. I currently have Abatron emulator (**broken link removed**) which can support MIPS32. I am inclined to use Abatron emulator but am not sure if it can be used for jtag to the chip, as my hardware module has not been developed yet.
 

Abatron is High-speed BDM/JTAG Interface for debugger .... Why you call it " emulator" ?

I was recommended by my colleague that BDI3000 may be a suitable emulator to replace the Sourcery probe that I may purchase.

I thought debugger and emulator mean the same thing: both for debugging hardware system by time-stepping. Or maybe debugger is the hardware portion and emulator is the software portion.

Pls correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
