Introducing J-Probe: A student-built tool for testing embedded systems in real time

Written by Bianca Schmidt on . Leave a comment

At SEGGER, we’ve always been passionate about supporting students throughout their academic journeys. We believe in providing hands-on experience and real-world opportunities across our various departments to help students grow both professionally and personally. By working alongside our expert teams, students gain invaluable skills and insights that go beyond theoretical knowledge.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Jannis Widmer who has been working on an interesting project that we’d like to share with you: J‑Probe. But instead of us explaining it, let’s hear directly from Jannis himself.

Reviving a classic electronic game – using SEGGER Tools and Software (Part III)

Written by Axel Wolf on . 1 Comment

In Part I and Part II of this three-part blog post series, I described how I started recreating one of my favorite electronic games from the early 1980s, Ravensburger’s Galaxis, on the NXP evaluation kit for the i.MX RT1052, using SEGGER tools and software. I also went over the development of the bulk of the […]

Debugging with external memory: J-Link adds Dual Memory Maps

Written by Martin Baldwin on .

J-Link debug probes do two important things: they download programs into RAM or flash memory, and they enable debugging in real time, with the setting of unlimited breakpoints, viewing of memory registers, and much more. Without this debugging ability, we are back to trial and error. When the debug process just stops, with no way […]

Automated testing made easy with emSim

Written by David Noverraz on .

Software testing, for embedded or for native solutions, can seem like a headache, but it doesn’t have to be! Of course, there are challenges. Time and resource limitations can restrict the level of testing, and it is difficult to simulate all real-world scenarios and corner cases. This can lead to defects being found in the […]
