I do embedded Linux and the only time I have used windows for that to to access the Linux servers (that was a strange setup). Mostly it's all done with Linux. First question what if any tools does the provider of your board or processor provide.
OpenOCD was developed on Linux and is well supported there (search for OpenOCD). You should be able to get an SDK (or an LDK or a fooDK) and there should be a version that runs under Linux. I have rolled my own SDK with Buildroot http://buildroot.uclibc.org/. If you have any questions drop me a line setting up a development environment is not all that hard, but there are a lot of little fiddly bits.
