SEGGER’s server network accelerates J-Link remote debugging

1 min read

SEGGER is now operating a worldwide network of J-Link Remote Servers, enabling a user to debug target systems from anywhere in the world at even higher speeds than before.

The J-Link Remote Servers are available to every J-Link user at no cost. While using the closest server significantly increases communication speed, customers still have the option to set up their own server if desired or required by company policy.

“Remote debugging and flash programming is now more common than ever.” said James Murphy, Vice President of Sales, SEGGER USA. “Recognising this, SEGGER has further enhanced remote capabilities for J-Link, Flashers, and development tools. The server network now provides this great feature at even greater speed.”

J-Link Remote Server has been proven over many years as an efficient way to debug Embedded Systems. The target can be thousands of miles away or found locally, even behind a corporate firewall. Using the J-Link Remote Server, developers will see almost no difference working remotely, according to the company.

The connection is secure, based on the proven algorithms of SEGGER's cryptography library emCrypt. The authentication uses challenge-response methods to ensure the password is never visible and encrypts all data transfer.

J-Link Remote Server is also compatible with SEGGER’s line of Flasher production programmers. By allowing full remote control of a flash programmer, the cost of moving hardware and/or people is significantly reduced.
