MCU-Link JTAG SWD Debug Probe

Author: EIS Release Date: Feb 21, 2021

NXP's MCU-Link debug probe utilizes their low-power, high-performance, dual-core LPC55S69 MCU operating at 150 MHz

Image of NXP's MCU-Link: JTAG/SWD Debug ProbeJointly developed by NXP and Embedded Artists, MCU-Link is a powerful and cost-effective debug probe that can be used seamlessly with the MCUXpresso IDE and is also compatible with 3rd party IDEs that support CMSIS-DAP protocol. MCU-Link also includes a USB-to-UART bridge feature (VCOM) that can be used to provide a serial connection between the target MCU and a host computer. MCU-Link is based on the LPC55S69 microcontroller and features a high-speed USB interface for high-performance debugging.

MCU-Link is compatible with Windows 10, MacOS, and Linux. A free utility from NXP provides an easy way to install firmware updates.
