J-Link SDK

The J-Link Software Developer Kit (SDK) allows customers to integrate J-Link support into their own applications. This is used in professional IDEs, such as SEGGER's Embedded Studio and others, to allow debugging directly via a J-Link, as well as in customized production utilities.

Typical applications to be used with J-Link are for example:

• Complete debuggers or additional debugger utilities like data visualizers.
• Customized flash programming utilities to be used in the production.
• Automated test applications.

The J-Link SDK is available for Windows, Linux and macOS, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions and can be used with nearly every programming language or solution. The integration of J-Link is done via a standard DLL / share library and provides easy-to-use C-language API functions. The SDK comes with startup projects for C (Visual C++ 6 and Visual Studio 2010), VB6 (Microsoft Visual Basic) and VB.NET (Visual Studio 2010).

The J-Link SDK allows using the entire functionality of J-Link, such as:

• The integrated flash programming capabilities, allowing high-speed flash programming of all supported devices without creating a custom flash-loader.
• Complete control of the target (Run, halt, reset, step, ...).
• Setting breakpoints and watchpoints, including setting Unlimited Flash Breakpoints.
• Using High-Speed Sampling, SEGGER Real Time Transfer (RTT), SWO and Simple Trace directly in the application.
• Low-level communication with the target via JTAG commands.
