Debug Probes

CrossWorks supports a wide range of adapters to program and debug your target:

The native CrossConnect for ARM JTAG/SWD adapter is the ideal interface to use with CrossWorks. It supports ARM7, ARM9, XScale, and Cortex cores and you can use it with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux versions of CrossWorks. Available in two versions, CrossConnect Classic and CrossConnect Pro. This is the recommended solution as it supports multi-core debugging.
The SEGGER J-Link is one of the most popular debug probes available, take a look at SEGGER Microcontroller.
CMSIS-DAP compatible devices such as the Keil ULINK2 and NXP LPC-LINK 2. CMSIS-DAP is now integrated onto many evaluation boards such as mbed and Seeed Arch Pro.
STMicroelectronics ST-LINK and ST-LINK/V2 devices. As with CMSIS-DAP, ST-Links are now integrated onto evaluation boards in the DISCOVERY and Nucleo ranges, including the professional ST ‘EVAL’ evaluation boards.
FTDI Chip FT2232/FT4232 based JTAG devices such as the Amontec JTAGkey and JTAGkey-Tiny, Olimex ARM-USB-OCD and ARM-USB-TINY.
