That is true, but in SB1, watchpoint registers can be used by the JTAG debugger, and I do it all the time. It doesn't have the EJTAG breakpoint registers, but rather overloads (I know, I know) use of the watchpoint registers and has a mode bit for causing a debug exception instead of a general exception when they are tripped.
