With Segger's J-Link/J-Trace debugger adapters and the OEM Versions you can debug and trace applications on ARM7, ARM9, and Cortex-M processor-based devices. µVision runs with all J-Link/J-Trace adapters that are not IDE-dependent.

Minimum requirements to use J-Link/J-Trace are:

• Keil MDK-ARM, version 4.10 or higher.
• Segger J-Link driver for Windows.

Common features of J-Link/J-Trace are:

• Examine memory and registers.
• Programming Flash Memory.
• Debugging in JTAG and Serial Wire mode.
• Single-stepping through programs and inserting multiple breakpoints.
• Supporting Segger's Flash Breakpoint feature, which allows more breakpoints than the hardware can actually handle.

Adapter specific features are listed below:

• J-Link is a JTAG emulator that connects to the ARM standard JTAG 20-pin connector.
• J-Link Pro is fully compatible to J-Link, and adds Ethernet connection possibilities.
• J-Trace Cortex–M is fully compatible to J-Link, supports debugging and tracing on Cortex-M processor-based devices, and debugging on ARM7 and ARM9 processor-based devices. This adapter connects to the Cortex Debug+ETM 20-pin connector.
• J-Trace is an emulator that supports the Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) for ARM7 and ARM9 processor-based devices.
