SEGGER J-Link supports Freescale ColdFire™ architecture

Hilden, Germany – May 30, 2008 - SEGGER Microcontroller, a leading manufacturer of middleware, debug probes and flash programming solutions for embedded systems, today announced the availability of J-Link ColdFire BDM 26, the JTAG emulator for Freescale ColdFire™ V2/V3/V4 devices.

J-Link ColdFire BDM 26 enables fast and reliable connections from the development system to your target hardware. Together with Codewarrior Development Studio or the IAR YellowSuite, this emulator sets new standards for professional debugging solutions at affordable pricing.

“Compared to existing solutions, J-Link ColdFire BDM 26 offers the big advantage of programming the embedded Flash directly from the IDE”, said Rolf Segger, CEO at SEGGER. “No need to exit debugging and use a different tool to program the internal flash”. In addition, J-Link ColdFire BDM 26 offers very high download speeds into the target system to maximize productivity of valuable design resources.
