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 (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 idea behind the knowledge base is to explain terms often used in combination with Embedded Computing Systems, or "Embedded Systems", as they are referred to in our industry. In addition, we would like 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, by explaining things from a programmer's perspective and by providing useful code examples.
Examples of the terms we explain are below:

Debug and Trace Probes
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 10 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
Glossary / Definitions
Software Development 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 for embedded applications.
Embedded Software
Embedded software includes all libraries, stacks, middleware and software packages used as building blocks for an embedded system's firmware. This section is dedicated to SEGGER's product portfolio and the related technology. SEGGER's Embedded Software has been deployed in billions of devices.
