The PowerPC CPU doesn't really support an open documented standard for
communicating with it's debug hardware does it?

I thought PowerPC's mostly just had a shift-register to access
internals and that you'd have to implement the entire debug logic
*outside* the PowerPC, right?

If so, then PowerPC debug support isn't suitable for being supported
by the opensource community.

That's PowerPC's loss, IMHO.

I haven't been following PowerPC. Are they used in mainstream embedded
MCUs still?
