The BBC micro:bit is an educational evaluation board series published by BBC. It comes with a Nordic Semiconductor nRF CPU and an on board debug probe. As for now, there are two versions of this board available.
J-Link Support
The on board debug probe can be upgraded to a J-Link OB which comes with the following features:
- Fully compatible with the J-Link features
- Enables full featured development with SEGGER Embedded Studio IDE
- Enables the use of a range of IDEs (all IDEs supporting J-Link)
- Maintains support of HEX file Drag and Drop
- Getting started Demo project for Embedded Studio available
Upgrade to J-Link OB
