Welcome to the SEGGER Wiki

This Wiki has been created to answer questions about Embedded Systems in general and to explain terms used in this context (our Knowledge Base), as well to have a place for information that is related to our products, but is too specific for the product descriptions on www.segger.com. An example of something too specific is: "How to enable Trace on a particular Evaluation Board". It is a work in progress and we continue to make it better and more valuable. For any kind of feedback, please contact us at info@segger.com.

Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base explains terms often used in the field of Embedded Computing Systems, or "Embedded Systems", as we say in our industry.

We aim to be a useful resource to engineers, students, and hobbyists programming Embedded Systems - typically microcontrollers, typically in C, C++, and some bits and pieces of Assembly language.

We explain things from a programmer's perspective and, where we can, provide useful code examples.

Examples of the terms we explain are:

CPU, CRC, Embedded System, Interrupt, Microcontroller, Watchdog

Knowledge Base has its own wiki page. To go there, click here.

Debug and Trace Probes

Debug and Trace Tools

Debug and trace probes enable verification and debugging of embedded systems while they are running. The probes connect the embbedded system with the computer used for development. This section is dedicated to SEGGER's product portfolio and the related technology.

J-Link & J-Trace

SEGGER J-Links are the most widely used line of debug probes available today. They've proven their value for more than 15 years. J-Trace PRO defines a new standard for trace probes. It enables streaming trace on Cortex-M, Cortex-A, and Cortex-R based targets with ETM


Software Development Tools

Software Tools

Software tools are those tools running on a computer used for developing embedded systems. This includes tools to edit source code, to build firmware, to verify functionality and to find bugs if required. This section is dedicated to SEGGER's product portfolio and the related technology.

Embedded Studio

SEGGER Embedded Studio is a complete all-in-one solution for managing, building, testing and deploying your embedded applications.

SystemView

SEGGER SystemView is a real-time recording and visualization tool for embedded systems that reveals the true runtime behavior of an application, going far deeper than the system insights provided by debuggers.

Ozone

Ozone is a full-featured graphical debugger and performance analyzer for embedded applications.

SEGGER compiler

A powerful C/C++ compiler to generate code for 32-bit ARM targets.


Embedded Software

Embedded Software, Stacks and Libraries
