Neil,


This may be ethically unacceptable to some, but there are a lot of
J-Link clones from China that work extremely well.

For my first ARM project I ordered an Atmel SAM-ICE from DigiKey for
US$100.00 (US$160.68 now) plus US$40.00 shipping plus 100% taxes
(shipping was taxed too).

Later I discovered that it is just a Segger J-Link locked to Atmel
devices only.

The less expensive unlocked Segger J-Link sells for US$378.00.


One J-Link clone I found on AliExpress costs US$14.49 with free shipping.


That happened to me with the Saleae Logic too. I bought an original
Saleae Logic for US$150.00. That was easier because my niece was in the
US and brought it to me free of taxes. But then I discovered that the
Chinese sold clones for US$7.00 (US$9.90 now) with free shipping. I
ordered one just out of curiosity and it worked perfectly. So I think
that companies should rethink their price policies.


Cheers,

Isaac
