NXP Semiconductors MCU-Link Pro SWD Debug Probe

NXP Semiconductors MCU-Link Pro SWD Debug Probe is a feature-rich, low-cost debug tool for Arm® Cortex®-M based microcontrollers. The MCU-Link Pro can be used seamlessly with the MCUXpresso Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and is also compatible with 3rd party IDEs that support the CMSIS-DAP or J-Link protocols. The MCU-Link Pro includes a USB to UART bridge (VCOM) and USB to SPI and I2C for convenient in-system programming and host application development. 

The NXP Semiconductors MCU-Link Pro SWD Debug Probe is based on the LPC55S69 Microcontroller and features a high-speed USB interface for high-performance debug. The MCU-Link Pro is compatible with Windows 10, macOS, and Linux, and a free utility from NXP provides an easy way to install firmware updates. The USB bridge features are supported by free libraries available for all supported host operating systems.
