Users can also create custom solutions with UNIT library routines. ICD debugger software and PKG software packages are available as well. Users most often purchase a version of PEmicro's PROG programming software that is compatible with their device architecture. Please note: Multilink debug probes do not include software, as there are myriad options regarding the device architecture and utility of software that the user might require. Ribbon cables suitable for a variety of architectures are included. Microcontrollers are supported via the multiple headers located under a flip lid on the Multilink case. Multilink connects between a USB port on a Windows machine and the standard debug connector on the target. Supported manufacturers include NXP, STMicroelectronics, Cypress, Infineon, Silicon Labs, and many others. The user can then directly control the target’s execution, read/write registers and memory values, debug code on the processor, and program internal or external FLASH memory devices. Multilink debug probes allow a PC access to the Background Debug Mode (BDM) or JTAG interface on wide range of ARM Cortex and 8-16-/32-bit devices, in order to halt normal processor execution and use the PC to control the processor. PEmicro recommends placing an order as soon as possible to reserve a place in queue rather than simply waiting for the next in-stock date, as new stock is often quickly sold. Note: Demand for Multilink debug probes has frequently outpaced supply during the global chip shortage. E users should read this errata notice to determine if their debug probe is affected.
