J-Link PRO

Ethernet/USB to JTAG Emulator (J-Link PRO)

The 8.12.00 J-Link PRO is an enhanced version of the SEGGER J-Link ARM. It has an Ethernet interface in addition to the USB interface. It connects via Ethernet or USB to the host PC. Two additional LEDs have been added so to be used as hardware status indicators. It also includes licenses for our; 8.08.02 J-Flash ARM, 8.08.03 J-Link RDI, 8.08.04 J-Link Flash Breakpoint, 8.08.05 J-Link Flash Download, and 8.08.08 J-Link GDB Server.

The included J-Flash software facilitates flash programming from a PC via the J-Link PRO.  It has an intuitive user interface and makes programming flash devices convenient and simple.  It is able to program internal and external flash devices at very high speeds.  This saves your production facility time and money.

The J-Link PRO also permits use via RDI compliant debuggers and our GDB Server.  The J-Link Flash Download module enables a debugger to download your application into flash even if the debugger does not have a flash loader.  The J-Link Flash Breakpoint module is a powerful and efficient debug solution.  As RAM size is an expensive part of an ARM processor-based micro, most of these microcontrollers do not have enough RAM to hold program and data in real world applications.  Debugging in flash is normally limited to the two hardware breakpoints permitted by the on-chip debug unit of ARM powered chips (ICE-breaker module).  The J-Link Flash Breakpoint software allows the setting of an unlimited number of software breakpoints in flash memory areas.  A RAM code, specially designed for this purpose, sets and clears flash breakpoints extremely fast.  On micros with fast flash, the difference between breakpoints in RAM and flash is hardly noticeable.

SEGGER Microcontroller develops and distributes hardware and software development tools as well as software components. All software components are ANSI "C" compliant and can be used in embedded systems including industries such as telecom, medical technology, consumer electronics, automotive industry and industrial automation. SEGGER software products include: embOS (RTOS), emWin (GUI), emFile (File System), emUSB (USB Device Stack) and embOS/IP (TCP/IP Stack). Besides the highly efficient software products, SEGGER also provides embedded hardware tools such as the well-known JTAG emulator J-Link, J-Trace and the Flasher (stand alone programmer). SEGGER´s intention is to cut software development time for embedded applications by offering affordable, flexible and easy-to-use tools and software components allowing developers to focus on their applications.
