ULink-Pro verses JLink-Ultra

It seems to me that the JLink-Ultra offers a lot more than the ULink-Pro but is this always going to be the case?

I pay annually for support for Keil, so if I buy a ULink-Pro that all comes with in that support, but if I buy the JLink I have to pay support for that in addition.

Will the ULink-Pro be enhanced to the level of the JLink I.E. unlimited Flash break points, 25MHz JTag etc, in the near future.

Does any one have both that Jlink-Ultra and ULink-Pro?
pro's, cons's?

  • When needing large number of breakpoints, I often add dummy calls to a helper function, allowing me to set a breakpoint on this function. The stack will tell me where I came from. And clearing this single breakpoint is a quick way to get the program to zoom ahead again. Most of the time, the code isn't time critical enough that it hurts to have an extra call/return added here and there.

    And most of the time, that dummy function isn't even expected to be called, i.e. the call is only made if the software sees an unexpected event.
