SEGGER J-Link supports Cortex-M0+ based Atmel SAM D20

The Cortex-M0+ core has 4 hardware breakpoints which can be used in internal flash memory. The J-Link family can enhance the debug experience for the developer with the unlimited number of Flash Breakpoints. This feature, available in J-Link PLUS, J-Link ULTRA+, J-Link PRO and J-Trace, allows the developer to set an unlimited number of breakpoints in internal and external flash memory.

“As a result of our long term partnership with Atmel J-Link is the first debug probe supporting the SAM D20, Atmel’s first Cortex-M0+ based microcontroller”, says Dirk Akemann, Marketing Manager of SEGGER.

“The addition of the J-Link and the J-Link-based SAM-ICE for our recently launched SAM D20 Cortex M0+-based family gives customers market-leading debugging and programming capabilities required for their projects”, says Joerg Bertholdt, Director of Software and Tools, Atmel Corporation. “With strong eco-system partners such as SEGGER, designers can have the confidence that Atmel provides all the right tools for every design.”
