Segger develops and distributes software development tools and ANSI C software components for embedded systems. Main products are : emWin, an universal graphics software (GUI) for embedded applications; embOS, a small real-time kernel; emFile, an embedded file system; USB stacks; and J-Link, the JTAG emulator for ARM cores. Segger cuts software development time for embedded applications by offering compact, flexible and easy-to-use middleware.

J-Link Debug Probes

SEGGER J-Links are the most widely used line of debug probes available today. They've been proven for more than 10 years with over 250,000 units sold, including OEM versions and on-board solutions. This popularity stems from the unparalleled performance, extensive feature set, large number of supported CPUs, and compatibility with all popular development environments.

With up to 3 MBytes/s download speed to RAM and record breaking flashloaders, as well as the ability to set an unlimited number of breakpoints in flash memory of MCUs, the J-Link debug probes are undoubtedly the best choice to optimize your debugging and flash programming experience.

J-Link debug probes support all ARM 7/9/11, Cortex™, Renesas RX™ CPUs and are supported by all major IDEs such as IAR EWARM, Keil MDK,Rowley CrossWorks, Atollic TrueSTUDIO, IAR EWRX,Renesas HEW, Renesas e2studio, including GDB based IDEs, and many others.

Hardware features

Hardware features like Ethernet interface, USB full- / high-speed interface, etc. are J-Link model specific features which can not be updated or changed by software updates.

  • For use from within an IDE
  • Best value: Includes all software enhancements and maximum performance

Educational use

  • Price does not include VAT or Sales Tax which may be applicable in some regions
  • Cortex-M3,4 cores only
  • ARM 7/9 cores only
  • The download speeds listed here are the peak download speeds that can be achieved by the particular J-Link model.The actual download speed may be lower as it depends on various factors, such as, but not limited to: The selected debug interface & speed, the CPU core and its operating frequency, other devices in the JTAG chain in case JTAG is used as target interface.

For customers who want to build their own applications using J-Link, and for IDE vendors who implement J-Link support for their IDE, SEGGER offers a J-Link SDK which comes with the J-Link DLL + API documentation + implementation samples. The SDK is available for Windows and Linux.

Remote Server Debugging in Tunnel Mode

The J-Link Remote Server effortlessly debugs target hardware and application in remote locations over TCP/IP as if the target was on the developer's desk. Taking this concept to the next level, SEGGER offers a tunnel mode for remote debugging anywhere in the world.

Tunnel mode initiates the connection sending the serial number of the J-Link to the tunnel server. The J-Link DLL then is capable of creating a tunnel connection via the server just by using the serial number of the target J-Link.

Support engineers can debug unwieldy hardware at the customer's site without having to travel there, just by sending a J-Link. Distributed development teams can share early prototypes even in remote locations.
