SEGGER makes it easy to add support for new devices to J-Link and Flasher

 

Monheim am Rhein, Germany – September 13th, 2022


The new J-Link Device Support Kit makes it even easier to add support for new devices to SEGGER’s J-Link debug probes and Flasher programmers. The kit comes with all files required to create an end-user package to add devices to J-Link and Flasher. Included is a ready-to-go example with source code as well as a template to easily create an installer.

The kit supports adding devices to the SEGGER family of J-Link debug probes manually - by copying files - or automatically by running a customized installer. Using the installer, Windows users can add devices with the click of a button.

Support extends naturally to the SEGGER family of Flasher in-circuit programmers, making professional solutions for low, medium and high volume production available.

“We feel it is important for our customers and partners to know they can add devices on their own. They can rely on but don’t have to depend on SEGGER,” says Rolf Segger, founder of SEGGER. “Silicon vendors can work with the market-leading J-Link knowing they can bring up their devices on their own schedule, even pre-silicon. This way, J-Link debug probes can be used on newly introduced devices, even before releasing them to the market.”

Adding new devices is simple: Just customize the working example. Devices added this way have the same functionality as devices added by SEGGER, including the ability to download directly into and set an unlimited number of breakpoints in flash memory.

The achievable programming speed is very close to the theoretical maximum imposed by the flash memory.

The created end-user packages can be redistributed at no cost. More information can be found here on the SEGGER wiki.
