J-Link WiFi
JTAG/SWD debug probe with WLAN/WiFi interface
J-Link WiFi is a JTAG/SWD debug probe with WLAN/WiFi interface. It can communicate at high speed (up to 15MHz) with the supported target CPUs. If a wireless debug interface is required, J-Link WiFi is the perfect solution.
Overview
J-Link WiFi is the wireless option, when the targeted embedded device is moving or has to be shielded from the environment. It is USB powered, so that it can use the same power source as the target device. It can communicate at high speed with the supported target CPUs.
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. J-Link is probably the most popular debug probe for ARM and RISC-V cores, making it the de-facto standard.
Key features

- Supports a broad range of microcontrollers
- Multiple CPUs supported—8051, PIC32, RX, ARM7/9/11, Cortex-A/R/M, RISC-V [More..]
- Supports direct download into RAM and flash memory
Why Use J-Link WiFi?
Mobility
Due to the WLAN/WiFi interface, the debug interface can also be used, if there is movement between the development PC and the target system. This is particularly useful in robotic applications.
Safety
In specific use cases, where the target system operates inside a hazardous environment, the wireless connection enables the developer to stay outside the dangerous area with his development system, even if there is a physical barrier between development and target system.
Use Cases
J-Link WiFi Licensing
J-Link WiFi 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 WiFi 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.
