J-Link control panel

Since software version V3.86 J-Link the J-Link control panel window allows the user
to monitor the J-Link status and the target status information in real-time. It also
allows the user to configure the use of some J-Link features such as flash download,
flash breakpoints and ARM instruction set simulation. The J-Link control panel win-
dow can be accessed via the J-Link tray icon in the tray icon list. This icon is available
when the debug session is started.
To open the status window, simply click on the tray icon.
