SEGGER's journey from 1992 to today
In 1992, Rolf Segger founded SEGGER with the idea of providing developers and companies with a real-time operating system called embOS that could be used for a wide variety of applications. Fast-forward to today, SEGGER has evolved into an industry leader, offering an extensive array of cutting-edge hardware and software tools that cater to every facet of microcontroller development. Join us on a journey through time as we trace the milestones and innovations that have defined SEGGER as a company.
