Multi Drop in Serial Wire Debug

I have 8 lpc1115 processors in chain. Is it possible to use a single SWD connection and do debugging? I  am using LPCXpresso with LPC-Link. If so, how to connect my SWD and SCLK of all the processors?

I have read this link:
http://support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki/MultipleJtagDevices

But no info on SWD is given. Kindly help

What about LPC4300?
Does LPCXpresso support dual core debugging available in this part?

Multi-drop SWD is not possible in these devices. AFAIK, there are no multi-drop SWD devices available from any MCU vendor (the spec from ARM is *very* recent). Sorry

I would like to ask if this continues to be the case? My company is planning on using the QN9020 BLE microcontroller and I would like to know if it supports multi-drop?

Multi-drop SWD is not supported in standard Cortex-M0, M3 and M4 parts. According to this ARM article:

The chip vendor (i.e NXP) needs to license (and therefore implement in silicon) an additional component. AFAIK, NXP has not...
