AFAICT, yes.

Because TI wants it that way.
My guess is that they're ashamed of the details involved and
don't want anybody to see them. From what they have documented
of their JTAG implimentation it's apparent that it, um, leaves
a bit to be desired.

I've been asking those questions for a long time. I've
volunteered to sign an NDA, I've volunteered to test new
versions of gdbproxy, I've volunteered to actually work on
gdbproxy, I've volunteered to send hardware for which support
is desired.
I've never gotten any response at all.
