I'm quite sure they simply use bit-banging and regular JTAG EXTEST to
create read and write cycles on the address + data bus. That is nice
for flashing / unbricking, but it's not nearly quite as nice (for
software development) as to get access to the ARM7TDMI EmbeddedICE block
(e.g. with OpenOCD) to halt the CPU at any time, dump the registers,
single step through code, etc.

sure, if the documentation is available it should not be muhc of a
problem...

please note that at least some of the sagem phones (particularly the
myx101) exist in two versions (with the same marketing name), old models
with Calpso and newer models with LoCosto.
