• Multi-TAP – offers up to 4 JTAG TAPs configurable across 20 GPIO pins
• Rugged – physically ruggedised for industrial and in-field environments with various mounting options available
• Fast – capable of market-leading JTAG boundary scan speeds of up to 166 MHz
• Flexible –available with hardware and network licensing options

Cambridge, United Kingdom. 11 December, 2025 – With thousands of test controllers sold all over the world, XJTAGA® is excited to launch the XJLink-PF20, the latest addition to the XJLink-PF series. Following the success of the XJLink-PF40, released earlier this year, the XJLink-PF20 brings the same dependability and robustness to a new two port configuration, offering both functional and JTAG boundary scan testing with the XJTAG testing suite’s long established power and control. This new configuration offers engineers even more choice across electronics development and production.

Designed in close consultation with industry, the XJLink-PF20 prioritises robustness for the unpredictability of prototyping and development, as well as the challenging environments of production. With ±30 V protection on all pins, you can focus on testing without worrying about damaging your equipment.

Enhanced signal integrity is provided by 20 dedicated ground pins, allowing the XJTAG testing suite to run at-speed even in the noisy and imperfect environments that engineers face every day. The fully configurable pin-out of the XJLink-PF20 allows you to assign JTAG TAPs and general purpose I/O in whatever way you need across the two provided connectors. Tolerant and flexible, users can set up their testing faster and spend less time on adapters and cabling.

The XJTAG suite of tools has been helping engineers bring complex software, firmware and hardware products to fruition for decades with its powerful suite of test and programming tools. The XJLink-PF20 fits easily into existing systems and is compatible with all parts of the XJTAG suite. XJLink-PF20 is supported by XJTAG version 4.2 and later.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade to the latest features that XJTAG testing has to offer, or are new to the combination of programming, functional testing and JTAG boundary scan, the XJLink-PF20 is the powerful test controller you need.

SEGGER introduces emApps for embedded systems

December 01, 2025

“emApps is a revolutionary software package that brings the familiar flexibility of the smartphone to the world of embedded systems,” says Rolf Segger, Founder of SEGGER. “Apps add capabilities to embedded devices, while keeping firmware small. We have been using them in our J-Link and Flasher product lines for years.”

SEGGER emApps is a software package for creating and executing apps, which are small programs that can be dynamically loaded and executed in a sandbox environment. Host systems can range from small microcontroller-based embedded systems to full desktop applications.

emApps consists of a PC development environment with a compiler for creating apps, as well as source code for host integration. Also included is a PC-based executor for running, testing, tracing, and even profiling apps on a desktop. Apps can be used to dynamically extend a host’s capabilities or to enable customization by manufacturers, OEMs, and end customers.

emApps’s key features are small code size, high performance, and security. Apps run on a virtual CPU specifically designed by SEGGER for this purpose, and they are executed by a call to the emApps executor, which implements the instruction set. Apps operate in their own memory space, fully sandboxed and isolated from the host program and other apps. Any illegal operations (such as access outside of app memory space) are detected, returning control to the caller. Apps have high code density (starting at less than 100 bytes in size) and deliver very high performance.

Integrating emApps into existing firmware is simple and easy. Code size requirements on the host side are minimal at around 2.5 KB, making emApps suitable for even compact microcontrollers. While the executor is written in C, the software also comes with an assembly optimized version for Arm cores. “Apps are a great enhancement for almost any embedded device,” says Dirk Akemann, Head of Technical Marketing, SEGGER. “We keep finding new use cases. I am convinced that we will see apps in many different types of embedded devices in the future. I encourage developers to give emApps a go. A trial version that allows execution on a PC is available for download.”

With emApps, new functionality can be added to firmware at any time, with no need to alter a validated core system. This enables new features or enhancements to be deployed in the field while maintaining system stability and security. App capabilities are defined by an API table in firmware, giving a firmware developer full control over the exact functionalities available to them. It is even possible to grant different rights (API tables) to different apps running in a system. Multiple apps can be executed simultaneously in a system with multiple CPU cores or an RTOS-based system, and they can have multiple entry points and serve as libraries, similar to DLLs.

More than just in-system programming: SEGGER Flashers now support custom apps and board testing

November 26, 2025

SEGGER announces a powerful new capability for its entire line of Flasher in-system programmers (ISPs), which includes the Flasher Portable PLUS; Flasher PRO; Flasher Compact; and the gang programmers Flasher Hub-4, Flasher Hub-12, and Flasher ATE2.

In addition to programming a target image, these devices can now run custom applications, or apps, thereby adding an entirely new layer of flexibility to the programming workflow.

SEGGER Flashers are capable of much more than programming firmware. Now, users can run one or multiple apps and integrate them into the programming process. For example, a test app can run self-diagnostics on a target board and confirm not only if a chip is programmed, but also whether the entire system is functioning correctly.

The introduction of in-system testing as an integrated part of ISP is a game-changing development in embedded systems.

“It’s amazing what can be done with these custom apps,” says Rolf Segger, Founder of SEGGER. “Programming, securing, testing — Flasher apps do it all. Our customers also love the fact that all programming algorithms are included. Switching to a different supported device is free and easy.”

In addition to conducting board tests, apps can unlock a target chip, perform Field-Programmable Gate Array programming, or even run boundary scans. This new functionality makes the SEGGER Flasher a versatile tool for any production environment.

Apps can be programmed in C using Flasher SDK, which comes with the compiler and App Builder required to build and test them. In addition, example code is included to make it easy to get started.

With the ability to run custom apps seamlessly, SEGGER takes ISP flexibility to a whole new level.
