As I think you know, JTAG and Boundary Scan are industry standards intended
primarily for
board manufacturing purposes.  Boundary Scan allows you access to the pins
on BGAs and other impossible-
to-reach pins on dense boards.  The Motorola CPUs simply borrow these same
pins for debug purposes, but
the internal debug logic is not directly related to JTAG.

Motorola does not release all the information about the debug interface on
all their processors.  However, the
BDM interface is well documented, and there is an open source project called
bdm4gdb.sourceforge.net, which
has the raw material for you to learn all you could want to know about bdm.

Good luck,
Mark Chambers
