The new J-Link Device Support Kit makes it easier for SEGGER's J-Link debug probes and Flasher programmers to add support for new devices. Support naturally extends to the company's family of Flasher online programmers, providing professional solutions for low, medium and high volume production. The achievable programming speed is very close to the theoretical maximum imposed by the flash memory.
The kit contains all the files needed to create an end user package to add devices to J-Link and Flasher. It includes a ready-made example with source code and templates to easily create an installer. The kit supports manual addition of devices to the J-Link debug probe family - either by copying files or automatically by running a custom installer. Using the installer, Windows users can add devices with the click of a button.
Adding new equipment is easy - just customize a working example. Devices added this way have the same functionality as those added by the company, including the ability to download directly to flash memory and set an unlimited number of breakpoints in flash memory.
"We think it's important to let our customers and partners know that they can add equipment themselves. They can rely on SEGGER but don't have to," said Rolf SEGGER, founder of SEGGER. “Silicon suppliers can work with market-leading J-Link, knowing that they can roll out devices on their own schedules, even before silicon. In this way, J-Link debug probes can be introduced devices, even before they are released to the market.”
