ULINK JTAG and Serial Wire Debug interfaces
The Keil ULINK family of USB-JTAG Adapters connect your PC's USB port to your target hardware (via a JTAG, SWD, or OCDS debug connector) and allow you to debug embedded programs running on your target hardware.
ULINK2 works with a wide variety of ARM, XC166, C166, and 8051 devices.
The new Keil ULINKPro debug interface unit provides support for run control debugging on ARM and Cortex-Mx cores, and Data and Instruction Trace on Cortex-Mx cores. Data Trace on Cortex-M3 devices uses the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) or ETM (Enhanced Trace Macrocell) on-chip modules.
ULINK2 and ULINKPro are used for On-chip Debugging (using on-chip JTAG, SWD, or SWV), and for Flash Memory Programming (using user-configurable Flash programming algorithms).
Features of the ULINK2 and ULINKPro debug interfaces include:
- Plug-and-Play installation using standard Windows USB drivers
- Serial Wire Debug (SWD) support for ARM Cortex-M3 devices
- Real-Time Trace for Cortex-M3 using Serial Wire Viewer (SWV)
- NXP 2-wire debug interface (P89LPC952 and P89LPC954) support
- Real-Time Agent with memory R/W during execution, terminal emulation, and serial debug output
- 10-pin and 20-pin connector support
Using the Keil µVision IDE/Debugger with the ULINK2 or ULINKPro adapters, you can easily create, download, and test embedded applications on actual target hardware
Three connector types are supported by ULINK2 and ULINKPro: 20-pin (0.1”), 20-pin ( 2mm) and 10-pin (0.05”) target connectors.
The ULINK-ME USB-JTAG Adapter offers a subset of the features found in ULINK2; it supports a 20-pin 0.1" debug connector only; it is supplied and supported only as part of the Keil Starter Kits.
