“Knowing boards with DAP-Link are commonly used by hobbyists and students, we are excited to give them access to our professional IDE and software libraries,” commented Johannes Lask, product manager for Embedded Studio at SEGGER. “This also enables SEGGER and others to create evaluation software projects for Embedded Studio and these boards, in line with our ‘It simply works!’ philosophy. I believe that Embedded Studio, due to its ease of use and easy licensing, is the best choice for silicon vendors to make reference projects and SDKs available.”
This new feature is included in the ARM and Cortex-M editions on all supported host platforms: Windows and Linux 64- and 32-bit, as well as macOS (including Catalina). The software to access the DAP-Link is based on the proven J-Link software. The company says it can download directly into flash memory and is optimised for both stability and performance.
While an on-board J-Link delivers superior features and performance, DAP-Link is used on a number of low-cost evaluation boards.
Embedded Studio can be downloaded without registration and can be fully evaluated without code size, feature, or time limit and used free of charge for educational and non-commercial purposes.
