#183912 - "Debug Probe"
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Neil said:
Also note that most chip manufacturers now do built-in debug probes on their devkits - so you might not need a separate debug probe...

But it is this built-in debug "probe" that the JTAG adapter is communicating with.


I think you misunderstand?

By "Debug Probe" I mean the uLink, J-Link, or equivalent:

uLink debug probes

Nowadays, many manufacturers provide this functionality as an integral part of their Dev Boards - so you don't have to buy a separate "lump" like a uLink or J-Link

In the example below, the dark-blue part is the "debug probe" ("LPC-Link"), and the lighter part is the "traditional" Dev Board part:

LPCExpresso board - with built-in debug probe

In some cases, the "debug probe" part can be used to debug other boards; in some, it is even detachable.
