J-Link PLUS / J-Link PLUS Compact

J-Link PLUS is a USB powered JTAG debug probe 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 PLUS is available in two form factors with identical function: J-Link PLUS and J-Link PLUS Compact.

The J-Link debug probes are supported by all major IDEs including Eclipse, GDB-based IDEs and SEGGER Embedded Studio. For a complete list, please refer to Supported IDEs. Including all models, more than 500,000 J-Links have been shipped so far, making J-Link probably the most popular debug probe for ARM cores and the de-facto standard.

Why Use J-Link PLUS?

Ozone – J-Link Debugger

Ozone is the debugger for J-Link and J-Trace. It includes all well-known debug controls and information windows and makes use of the best performance of J-Link and J-Trace debug probes.

SEGGER Flash Breakpoints Icon

Flash Breakpoints

The J-Link software comes with an additional feature, called Unlimited Flash Breakpoints. Unlimited Flash Breakpoints allow the user to set an unlimited number of breakpoints when debugging in flash memory.

Further Advantages

  • Built-in VCOM functionality
  • Comes with integrated licenses for: Unlimited breakpoints in flash memory (Unlimited Flash Breakpoints), RDI / RDDI and J-Flash
  • Supports a broad range of microcontrollers
  • Multiple CPUs supported—8051, PIC32, RX, ARM7/9/11, Cortex-M/R/A, RISC-V [More..]
  • Supports direct download into RAM and flash memory

J-Link PLUS Licensing

J-Link PLUS comes with licenses for all J-Link related SEGGER software products: J-Link Unlimited Flash Breakpoints, J-Link RDI / RDDI, J-Flash, J-Link GDB Server, providing the optimum debugging solution for professional developers.

J-Link PLUS can be used with almost all ARM debuggers, enabling download to flash memory with an unlimited number of breakpoints when debugging programs located in flash memory of most popular ARM microcontrollers. It also comes with the license to use J-Flash, SEGGER's popular flash programming software.

J-Link Compact Dimensions

J-Link PLUS Compact dimensions

The compact variant of the J-Link PLUS is designed to mount securely and unobtrusively into development or end user equipment. The small size and two mounting holes enable placing the J-Link into existing equipment housings or to reserve space for direct-to-PCB mounting.

Typical applications are test fixtures that are used to automate firmware verification during development, or long-term test setups. It also can be used for integrated firmware reflash or service purposes inside end equipment, minimizing the number of tools that service technicians must carry around.
