From version 6.49a onwards, a nickname can be assigned to a J-Link to make it easily distinguishable from other J-Links by more then only the serial number.

Where the nickname is shown

J-Link selection dialog with nickname

The nickname is shown in two places:

  • J-Link Configurator
  • J-Link Selection dialog

How to asign a nickname

J-Link selection dialog with nickname

A nickname can only be assigned to the J-Link via the J-Link Configurator. To assign a nickname in the Configurator, double-click (or right-click->Configure) the J-Link you want to assign a nickname to and write it into the "Nickname" section.

Restrictions

  • The nickname cannot exceed a length of 32 characters
  • Only ASCII characters are valid
  • After assigning a nickname, the J-Link must be power-cycled for the changes to take effect
  • The J-Link's firmware is supposed to be up to date
