At least in STM CPUs SWD is a subset of JTAG, repurposing the JTAG TMS for 
SWDIO and TCK for SWCLK.  The low-end STM32 MCUs don't include full JTAG 
support, but they do include SWD support.  I haven't studied other 
manufacturer's dies, so I don't know about them.  The Baselli schematics has an 
example of how to wire them.
