 ARM® Keil® Microcontroller Tools

The Keil ULINK family of Debug Adapters connect the PC's USB port to the target system (via JTAG or Serial Wire debug interface) and allow debugging embedded programs running on target hardware.

All debug adapters of the Keil ULINK family enable you to:

  • Download programs to the target hardware.
  • Examine memory and registers.
  • Single-step through programs and insert multiple breakpoints.
  • Run programs in real-time.
  • Debug on-the-fly ARM and Cortex-M based devices.
  • Examine trace information from ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 devices.

Keil offers the following adapters:

  • ULINKpro USB-JTAG Adapter for capturing trace, debugging, and Flash programming via JTAG or Serial Wire.
  • ULINK2 USB-JTAG Adapter for debugging and Flash programming via JTAG or Serial Wire.

Refer to ULINK Debugger Comparison for evaluating the features of the various adapters.
