10.1 Introduction

As the number of devices being available is steadily growing and sometimes in an
early stage of the MCU development only a few samples/boards are available that
may not be provided to third parties (e.g. SEGGER) to add support for a new device.
Also the existence of the device may have confidential status, so it might not be
mentioned as being supported in public releases yet. Therefore it might be desirable
to be able to add support for new devices on your own, without depending on SEG-
GER and a new release of the J-Link software package being available.
The J-Link DLL allows customers to add support for new devices on their own. It is
also possible to edit/extend existing devices of the device database by for example
adding new flash banks (e.g. to add support for internal EEPROM programming or
SPIFI programming etc.). This chapter explains how new devices can be added to the
DLL and how existing ones can be edited/extended.
