#189856 - Who's "they"
Responding to: ???'s previous message
That's quite different from what I've encountered.

Now, perhaps you're at a different level of debug than what I'm imagining, but even when using commercial chips, few debuggers support all the features of your design.

In a "roll-yer-own" situation you've got the JTAG support for your programmable logic, and little else. In a device large enough to house even a fairly simple 805x-core, that's a lot of stuff to debug. Keeping track of all the details, especially timing, will be quite a challenge.
