Segger Microcontroller is a private multinational company dealing in middleware for embedded devices as well as development and programming tools. The company was founded in 1997 and headquartered in Hilden, Germany with a US office in Winchendon, Massachusetts.

embOS

Segger offers one of the smallest complete ANSI "C" embedded graphics package and GUI available.^[1]^[2] Segger's RTOS (embOS) is part of Oki Semiconductor's World's first complete ARM-based ZigBee Developer's Kit.^[3]

J-Link

Segger is most noted for its JTAG / SWD emulator for ARM-based microcontrollers that have ARM7 / ARM9 / ARM11, Cortex M0 / M0+ / M1 / M3 / M4 / M7, Cortex R4 / R5, Cortex A5 / A7 / A8 / A9 / A12 / A15 / A17 cores, Renesas RX, and Microchip PIC32. This device is called the J-Link.^[4] It is also repackaged and sold as an OEM item^[5] by Analog Devices as the mIDASLink, Atmel as the SAM-ICE, Digi International as the Digi JTAG Link, and IAR Systems as the J-Link and the J-Link KS. This is the only JTAG emulator that can add Segger's patented Flash breakpoint software to a debugger to enable the setting of multiple breakpoints in Flash while running on an ARM device which is typically hindered by the limited availability of hardware breakpoints.^[6] For enhanced emulation features Segger offers a Trace Emulator, J-Trace that works with the ARM ETM interface and enables engineers to trace back their code execution.

Note: Additional models are J-Link LITE ARM, J-Link LITE CortexM, J-Link LITE RX, J-Link OB, J-Link OEM.^[8]
Note: PLUS / BASE / EDU models are physically the same hardware. The difference is license and software options, such as GDB Server, Flash Download, Unlimited Flash Breakpoints, J-Flash, RDI, RDDI. The EDU model can't be used for commercial software development.
Note: Adapters and isolators are available to convert the 20-pin 0.1"/2.54mm male shrouded (box) header to another target board connector.^[9]

Segger J-Link PRO: JTAG / SWD debug probe for ARM microcontrollers with USB and Ethernet interfaces to host.
