Software features
Software features are features implemented in the software primarily on the host.
Software features can either come with the J-Link or be added later using a license
string from Segger.

Most IDEs come with its own flashloaders, so in most cases this feature is not
essential for debugging your applications in flash. The J-Link flash download
(FlashDL) feature is mainly used in debug environments where the debugger does
not come with an own flashloader (for example, the GNU Debugger). For more infor-
mation about how flash download via FlashDL works, please refer to Flash download
on page 185.

In order to use the flash breakpoints with J-Link no additional license for flash
download is required. The flash breakpoint feature allows setting an unlimited num-
ber of breakpoints even if the application program is not located in RAM, but in flash
memory. Without this feature, the number of breakpoints which can be set in flash is
limited to the number of hardware breakpoints (typically two for ARM 7/9, up to six
for Cortex-M)
breakpoints on page 199.
