J-Link Debug Probes
Get an overview of SEGGER development tools and find your J-Link JTAG Debug Probe.
The J-Link debug probes with their outstanding performance, robustness, and ease of use are the market leading debug probes today.
Overview: J-Link Debug Probes
The J-Link BASE provides a cost-effective entry into professional debugging with SEGGER's proven hardware
platform.
It is designed for developers who want to get started with J-Link and basic debug functionality. The probe supports a wide range of target devices and offers reliable performance for standard development tasks.
However, compared to other J-Link models, the J-Link BASE includes only a limited set of advanced software features.
For full access to SEGGER's debugging ecosystem, including speeds of up to 4 MB/s and features such as Ozone and unlimited breakpoints in flash memory, higher-tier models like J-Link Pro or J-Link Ultra are recommended.
High download speeds
J-Link BASE offers download speeds of up to 1 MB/s,
ensuring that project development moves forward
smoothly and reliably, with minimized download
times.
Real Time Transfer
J-Link BASE offers Real Time Transfer (RTT), which
provides a simplified path for information to travel
when an application is running. Users can also easily
monitor changes in operation.
Broad CPU and IDE support
J-Link BASE works with an extensive range of microcontrollers and IDEs. It enables users to connect their selected microcontroller with their favorite IDE.

J-Link PRO
There are many aspects which make the J-Link PRO very attractive to use:
- Speed
Up to 3 MByte/second download speed make J-Link PRO the fastest debug probe on the market. Using TCP/IP instead of USB eliminates latencies from USB usage, resulting in higher debugging speed. - Flexibility
Due to the Ethernet interface, long distances between the development PC and the target system are possible. You can set a default gateway for J-Link PRO, so it is also possible to use it in large intranets. - Security (Galvanic isolation)
Ethernet signal lines provide galvanic isolation of J-Link PRO (and so the target system) from network and development PC. For a complete isolation, shield of Ethernet cable should not be connected to RJ45 connector of J-Link PRO. - Price
Buying a J-Link PRO, which comes with licenses for all J-Link-related SEGGER software, will save you a lot of money because buying a J-Link and all licenses separate is more expensive.
