Segger Microcontroller is a private company involved in the embedded systems industry.[1] It provides products used to develop and manufacture four categories of embedded systems: real-time operating systems (RTOS) and software libraries (middleware), debugging and trace probes, programming tools (integrated development environment (IDE), compiler, linker), and in-system programmers (Flasher line of products). The company is headquartered in Monheim am Rhein, Germany, with remote offices in Gardner, Massachusetts; Milpitas, California; and Shanghai, China.

History

Segger Microcontroller was founded in 1992 by Rolf Segger in

ARM architecture, though recent versions are also used by RISC-V. All products are developed, maintained and updated in Germany except for Embedded Studio, which is primarily developed by a team of developers in the United Kingdom
.

Product categories

Debug and trace probes

Segger is most noted for its J-Link family, which supports

PIC32, SiLab EFM8, RISC-V.[3] It is also repackaged and sold as an OEM item[4] by Analog Devices as the mIDASLink, Atmel as the SAM-ICE, Digi International as the Digi JTAG Link, and IAR Systems as the J-Link and the J-Link KS. This is the only JTAG emulator that can add Segger's patented flash breakpoint software to a debugger to enable the setting of multiple breakpoints in flash while running on an ARM device which is typically hindered by the limited availability of hardware breakpoints.[5]

In the following table, the top group are trace devices, the bottom group are educational / hobbyist devices.
