There are a few, I will let others answer this question.

There should be no problem for debug with JTAG, the JTAG debugger
accesses the processor at a level far below any sofware layer. Except
for thread-aware debuggers, which will not be able to debug Xenomai
threads, only Linux threads. I am not sure what CCS is able to do.
