SEGGER Discontinues IAR Branded J-Links

SEGGER Microcontroller the developer and manufacturer of the embedded industry's most popular emulator, the J-Link, today announced that the IAR Branded J-Links (in yellow housing) will be discontinued. SEGGER will continue to work with IAR to ensure optimal J-Link support from the IAR Embedded Workbench.

IAR recently announced their decision to acquire Signum. This presents IAR with the option to sell one of two competing products: Their Signum emulator or the IAR branded version of the SEGGER J-Link. SEGGER feels that IAR's motivation will be to promote their newly acquired emulators rather than the proven J-Link, potentially damaging the excellent reputation the J-link and J-Trace have in the market.

"This acquisition took us by surprise. We regret that we have to do this, but we feel forced to discontinue production of IAR branded yellow J-Links. We hope that IAR understands the decision and expect that they will continue to fully support the broad base of J-Link users with the Embedded Workbench.", said Rolf Segger, founder and CTO at SEGGER.

"We believe that the J-Link product family is the most advanced emulator family available. It's popularity allows us to offer it at very reasonable prices, and it is widely used for software development in the commercial and educational market spaces, as well as for production flash programming. Anyone desiring the discontinued IAR J-Link, may acquire the original SEGGER J-Link.", said Ivo Geilenbrügge, managing director at SEGGER.

Built-in firmware intelligence provides a strong connection with your end device while performing at very high speeds. It also facilitates advanced features such as unlimited Flash Breakpoints, Power Debugging, and full SWD/SWO support. With the J-Links competitive pricing, wide target support, incredible speed, stability, and versatility, J-Link is second to none.

The SEGGER J-Link is the industry-standard for ARM debug emulators, supported by all major tool chains for ARM cores. The SEGGER J-Link is independent and will work with IDEs from: Freescale, IAR, KEIL, Mentor Graphics, Rowley, Renesas, Tasking, Phyton and others. In addition to those listed above; any RDI compliant debugger can be used with the optional RDI module, and any GDB compliant debugger with the free GDB-Server. Therefore; as projects change a different compiler/debugger might become necessary. With the J-Link family investments (monetary and learning curve) in development/production tools are preserved. Setup of a J-Link is done in mere minutes.

J-Link supports multiple CPU families, such as ARM 7/9/11, Cortex-M0,M1,M3,M4,R4,A5,A8,A9, Renesas RX in a single model; there is typically no need to buy a new J-Link or new license when switching to a different CPU family. SEGGER is also continuously adding support for additional cores, which in most cases, only requires a software/firmware update. Unlimited free updates are included with even the baseline model of the J-Link. SEGGER is excited to continue advanced development of its cutting edge embedded tool solutions to be utilized with the IAR IDE, or any other development environment you choose.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
