For those, who use OpenOCD, I'd like to mention that OpenOCD 0.8.0 was released 59 minutes ago from this posting.
The list of changes is very large, but those changes I personally find interesting are:
[list=1][color=#00c]
[*]Improved support for ARM micrcontrollers
[*]Better stability
[*]Big Endian support
[/color][/list]
What it means:
[list=1][color=#090]
[*] The past year, the development team have been focusing mainly on ARM, CMSIS-DAP/SWD.
[*] The team has also been focusing very much on bug-fixing, not implementing new features.
[*] OpenOCD works much better on these platforms, including Mac PPC and 68xxx based platforms.

I've successfully flashed LPC812, LPC1112, LPC1342 and LPC1751 using SWD from a Mac PPC.
In addition, I've successfully flashed LPC43xx with on-chip flash from the Mac PPC, so if anyone else having trouble with Big Endian hosts, I recomend trying out this new release.
For details on this update, you can read more here (you can't click the link, so you'll have to copy/paste it): [color=#00f]http[/color][color=#00f]:[/color][color=#00f]//[/color][color=#00f]openocd[/color][color=#00f].[/color][color=#00f]sourceforge[/color][color=#00f].[/color][color=#00f]net[/color].
(Note: I'm sorry for the multiple posts of links, but this is especially relevant for LPC8xx, 11xx and 13xx, so I wanted to make sure that people who only attend those forums, would also get the chance to see it).
