1.3.2 J-Link BASE
J-Link BASE is a JTAG emulator designed for ARM cores. It con-
nects via USB to a PC running Microsoft Windows 2000 or later.
For a complete list of all operating systems which are sup-
ported, please refer to Supported OS on page 29. J-Link BASE
has a built-in 20-pin JTAG connector, which is compatible with
the standard 20-pin connector defined by ARM.
1.3.2.1 Additional features
• Direct download into flash memory of most popular micro-
controllers supported
• Full-speed USB 2.0 interface
• Serial Wire Debug supported
• Serial Wire Viewer supported
• Download speed up to 1 MBytes/second*
• Debug interface (JTAG/SWD/...) speed up to 15 MHz
• RDI interface available, which allows using J-Link with RDI
compliant software
*The actual speed depends on various factors, such as JTAG/
SWD, clock speed, host CPU core etc.
