J-Link Configurator - Main window

The J-Link Configurator is a cross platform (Windows, Linux and MacOS) GUI application to configure certain features of a J-Link, J-Trace or Flasher. It is part of the J-Link Software and Documentation Pack available on the SEGGER Homepage.


Features

In most cases, no configuration is required, especially when using J-Link via USB, as it is designed to work out-of-the-box. If required, the following settings can be changed via the J-Link Configurator:

  • Re-configuring older J-Links to be identified by their real serial number when enumerating on the host PC (required when connecting > 3 older J-Links to one host pc)
  • Configuration of the IP settings (use DHCP, IP address, subnet mask, ...) of a J-Link supporting the Ethernet interface
  • Enabling/Disabling VCOM functionality, if supported.
  • Updating the firmware of multiple J-Links easily.
  • Adding a nickname to an emulator.

Configure J-Links using the J-Link Configurator

J-Link Configurator - Configuration dialog

A J-Link can be configured easily by selecting the appropriate J-Link from the emulator list and using right click -> Configure or double-clicking it.

Re-configuring the identification method

In order to configure an old J-Link, which uses the old USB 0 - 3 USB identification method, to use the new USB identification method (reporting the real serial number) simply select "Real SN" as USB identification method and click the OK button.

Configuring VCOM

To configure VCOM, click on "Enable VCOM" (requires emulator reset)

Configuring DHCP and IP

This feature is only available for emulators (e.g J-Link) with an Ethernet interface. To manually configure the IP settings of the connected emulator, under IP Configuration click on Manual.

Configuring a Nickname

A nickname can be assigned to a connected emulator to make it easier to recognize. This nickname will also be shown in the device selection dialog.
