Jtag devices for experimental de bugging

I'm looking to experiment with de bugging and wanted to try a Jtag interface with the arduino IDE or maybe Atmel studio ??

This is only a learning exercise , but looking for those experienced over what to buy.

There are interface boards everywhere from £3 to £300 and as this is a play exercise, I don't want to hurt my wallet.
what should I buy ?? is there any difference ??

I've seen code to work on a UNO for this task, but prefer a stand alone board.

thx.

You can't use inline debug with 8bit AVR MCU like atmega328 (used on Uno or Nano boards).
To learn jtag debugging it would be better to use a controller with native jtag support like a STM32...

I realise that , I have seen code and a library to run on a UNO to make that UNO the Jtag interface, not debug on it. I don't wish to use that.

I need the bit to connect to my PC to a STM32....

example

The generic Chinese USB dongles (STLink V2) work fine. They cost a few bucks a piece. Debugging works in a no fuss manner with stm32cube.

With chinese CH32 controllers it works pretty much the same with MoonRiver Studio and the WCH link programmer.

You don't need the official STM or Texas Instruments debugger. I'm sure they're swell, but the cheap knockoffs work fine, too.

thx, buying a cheapo
