About the Universal jlink adapter PCB

Universal jlink adapter is an open source PCB design by Fescron, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-1.2 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 48.3 × 30.5 mm, with 18 components from 12 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 10 jumpers, 5 connectors, 1 switch, 1 capacitor and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the usb & debug tools, power & battery and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery, and the repository also holds 3 earlier revisions of it.

From the project

20 pin SWD/JTAG J-Link to 10 pin (0.1" and 0.05") reconfigurable Cortex-M header with power supply and TagConnect compatibility, as well as with a reset button. (Info about about J-Link Commander and Segger RTT is also given.)

This multifunctional adapter board, primarily designed for use with a J-Link debugger (but others which follow the standard 20-pin JTAG/SWD pinout also work), allows the user to have the standard 9 pin Cortex-M SWD/JTAG pinout on both a 0.1" (2.54mm) and 0.05" (1.27mm) male pinheader. With additional jumpers it is possible to have extra functionality like UART debugging though the J-Link's VCOM on pins which normally aren't used in some modes, if the probe's hardware supports this. Good labeling of all pin numbers and their corresponding functionality also help to speed-up the…
