What is J-Flash SPI?

J-Flash SPI is a stand-alone flash programming software for PCs running Microsoft Windows,
which allows direct programming of SPI flashes, without any additional hardware. J-Flash
SPI has an intuitive user interface and makes programming flash devices convenient. J-
Flash SPI requires a J-Link or Flasher to interface to the hardware. It is able to program
all kinds of SPI flashes, even if the CPU they are connected to, is not supported by J-Link /
Flasher because J-Flash SPI communicates directly with the SPI flash bypassing all other
