All new J-Link 2013 Models: The best JTAG/SWD Emulator just got better

At 3MB/s the high-end models J-Link PRO, J-Link ULTRA+ and J-Link ULTRA firmly establish themselves as the fastest emulators in the industry. The standard J-Link and the J-Link PLUS also benefit from a new platform and raise their download speed to 1MB/s. This is achieved while maintaining the versatility and dependability SEGGER users have come to expect.

Power debugging with the J-Link PRO, J-Link ULTRA and J-Link ULTRA+ has been improved to achieve a resolution of 50 uA at sampling frequencies of up to 200 KHz.

The new 2013 models are available at no additional cost and are of course fully compatible to each other as well as to older models. Owners of previous models may benefit from the new hardware design by making use of SEGGER’s trade-in-program. Details may be found at www.segger.com/trade-in-program.html

“It is easy for a developer to make a choice on his JTAG/SWD emulator. With the new hardware platform, we now offer the fastest, the most robust and the most versatile option in the market”, says Alexander Gruener, J-Link Product Manager of SEGGER.

“At 3MB/sec with a maximum Target interface speed of 60MHz, the J-Link ULTRA, ULTRA+ and PRO models are the fastest emulators on the market. As with all J-Links, download into flash memory is supported. Not only the download speed, but all other values such as single step performance is second to none”, says Dirk Akemann, Marketing Manager of SEGGER.

About J-Link

The SEGGER J-Link is the most popular debug probe on the market. It is tool chain independent and works with free GDB-based tool chains such as emIDE and Eclipse, as well as commercial IDEs from: Microchip (MPLAB® X), Atmel, Atollic, Coocox, Cosmic, Freescale, IAR, KEIL, Mentor Graphics, Python, Rowley, Renesas, Tasking and others. With the J-Link family, investments in the debug probe are preserved when changing compiler or even CPU architecture.

J-Link supports multiple CPU families, such as ARM 7, 9, 11, Cortex-M0, M0+, M1, M3, M4, R4, A5, A8, A9 as well as Renesas RX100, RX200, RX610, 620, 62N, 62T, 630, 631, 63N and Microchip PIC32; there is no need to buy a new J-Link or new license when switching to a different yet supported CPU family or tool-chain. SEGGER is also continuously adding support for additional cores, which in most cases, only requires a software/firmware update. Unlimited free updates are included with even the baseline model of the J-Link family. SEGGER is excited to continue advanced development of its cutting edge embedded tool solutions to be utilized with pretty much any development environment you choose. All J-Links are fully compatible to each other, so an upgrade from a lower-end model to a higher-end model is a matter of a simple plug-and-play.
