Note: USB Multilink Universal Rev. E users should read this errata notice to determine if their debug probe is affected.
Note: Demand for Multilink debug probes has frequently outpaced supply during the global chip shortage. 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.
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. 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.
Supported manufacturers include NXP, STMicroelectronics, Cypress, Infineon, Silicon Labs, and many others. Multilink connects between a USB port on a Windows machine and the standard debug connector on the target. Microcontrollers are supported via the multiple headers located under a flip lid on the Multilink case. Ribbon cables suitable for a variety of architectures are included.
Software Licenses/Compatibility
PEmicro's current software licenses are hardware-based, meaning they are installed permanently onto a single hardware interface, such as a Multilink. Newly purchased Multilinks support these licenses, however users wishing to install a license on an older Multilink should read our blog posts regarding PROG licensing and ICD/PKG licensing to be sure their Multilink will support the license.
Please note: Multilink debug probes do not include any software licenses by default, as there are myriad options regarding the device architecture and utility of software that the user might require. Users most often purchase a version of PEmicro's PROG programming software that is compatible with their device architecture. ICD debugger software and PKG software packages are available as well. Users can also create custom solutions with UNIT library routines. There is support for Multilink in many NXP and other third party tools, such as MCUXpresso, or STMicroelectronics' STM32CubeIDE. Click for a listing of compatible 3rd party ARM-based IDEs. In addition, ARM-based Eclipse IDEs are compatible, with the appropriate GDB Server plug in.
There are 3 models of Multilink:
MULTILINK ACP MULTILINK UNIVERSAL MULTILINK UNIVERSAL FX
All Multilink debug probes offer these standard features:
MULTILINK UNIVERSAL and MULTILINK UNIVERSAL FX also include these features:
MULTILINK UNIVERSAL FX supports these additional advanced features:
The exceptional performance increases seen with the USB Multilink Universal FX are limited to synchronous architectures: ARM devices, Kinetis, S32, MPC55xx-577xx (& STMicroelectronics SPC5), Coldfire V2-V4, DSC, MPC5xx/8xx, and HC16/683xx.
1) PEmicro's UNITACMP Library SDK for ARM Cortex-M processors is free to download. This allows the user to create an application which can fully control the execution of an embedded processor via Multilink debug probes or Cyclone programmers.
2) PEmicro's no-cost GDB Server for ARM devices (Eclipse plug-in) includes the following powerful features:

Multilink debug probes offer broad device support for ARM devices from several manufacturers, as well as support for several 8-/16-/32-bit architectures from NXP and STMicroelectronics.
**The latest Multilink Universal debug probe (part# USB-ML-UNIVERSAL, Rev. E or later) requires this RS08 adapter to allow the user to communicate with NXP's RS08 devices.
Note: The older revision of the Multilink Universal FX (Rev A): only supports Freescale/NXP ARM devices.
