The kit firmware is the application that enables the kit to do debugging, current measurements, flashing, virtual COM port, among other things.


Key Features

USB Mass Storage Device (USB MSC)

  • Program binary images to target by simply copying them to the flash drive in your operating system.
  • MSC programming supports flat binary files, Motorola S-record files and Intel Hex format files.

Virtual COM port (USB CDC)

  • A virtual serial port which can be used for communications between a computer and the target application.
  • Available whenever the J-Link USB cable is connected to a computer.
  • Fixed configuration; 115 200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit.

Advanced Energy Monitoring (AEM)

  • Monitor the current and energy use of the target application in real time.
  • Correlate energy consumption to code segments using Energy Profiler in Simplicity Studio.

Debug Multiplexer

  • A multiplexer on the board enables debugging of an external target (such as a custom board) using a standard cable.
  • Controlled using the Kit Manager in Simplicity Studio.


Availability

The firmware with this functionality will be available through Simplicity Studio shortly.
