The J-Link line of JTAG programmers from Segger is well known for their top of the line debuggers. The J-Link EDU Mini is a great option for those getting started with JTAG/SWD programming and debugging. Each J-Link EDU Mini is a version of the J-Link EDU Base in a reduced form factor with identical functionality for Cortex-M based targets. It has been designed to allow students and educational facilities as well as hobbyists access to top of the line debug probe technology.
With a microB USB port on one end, and a 2x5 SWD connector on the other end, just plug in the included cable and connect to your favorite ARM board to get started.
Note: This unit is for Educational and Home Hobby Use Only. Please be sure that you agree to these terms before purchasing: Terms of use. If you require commercial use, please check out our related products for other programmers such as the J-Link BASE Compact.
If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
