J-Link

JTAG/SWD Emulator with USB interface

J-Link is a USB powered JTAG emulator supporting a large number of CPU cores.

Based on a 32-bit RISC CPU, it can communicate at high speed with the supported target CPUs. J-Link is used around the world in tens of thousand places for development and production (flash programming) purposes.

J-Link support is integrated in most professional IDEs such as IAR, Keil, Rowley and many others.

Along with the OEM version (such as IAR J-Link, ATMEL SAM-Ice and others) more than 60,000 J-Links have been sold so far, making J-Link probably the most popular emulator for ARM cores and the de-facto standard.

Available Software Packages

J-Link Flash Breakpoints

The J-Link software contains an additional feature, called Flash Breakpoints.
Flash breakpoints allow the user to set an unlimited number of software breakpoints when debugging in flash memory.
This feature is also available for J-Link RDI.

J-Flash

J-Flash is a PC software running on Windows 2000/XP systems, which enables you to program your Flash EEPROM devices via the On-Chip Debug connector (JTAG) on your target system.

J-Link GDB Server

The J-Link GDB Server is a remote server for the GDB.
The GDB and GDB Server communicate via a TCP/IP connection, using the standard GDB remote serial protocol.
The GDB Server translates the GDB monitor commands into J-Link commands.

J-Link SDK

The J-Link DLL is a standard Windows DLL typically used from "C" (Visual Basic or Delphi projects are also doable).
It makes the entire functionality of J-Link available thru the exported functions.

J-Link Flash SDK

An enhanced version of the J-Link SDK, which contains additional API functions for flash programming.
The additional API functions (Prefixed JLINKARM_FLASH) allow erasing and programming the internal flash memory of many ARM 7/9 and Cortex-M3 MCUs.

J-Link ARM RDI

The J-Link ARM RDI software is an RDI interface for J-Link.
It makes it possible to use J-Link with any RDI compliant debugger.
