feel confident that you've found an actual J-Link clone and want to give that
a shot, feel free to report back with your experience.
## Software for flashing
- [Simplicity Commander](https://www.silabs.com/developers/simplicity-studio/simplicity-commander)
- [JFlash](https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/technology/flash-download/)
Of course Silicon Labs [Simplicity Studio](https://www.silabs.com/developers/simplicity-studio) or Segger's [Ozone](https://www.segger.com/products/development-tools/ozone-j-link-debugger/) debugger can also be used to flash tags.
>[!Note]
>Neither Simplicity Studio nor Ozone are lightweight installs. Only install them if you are planning on doing development.

## Debug-locked devices
Some EFR32xG22 devices are debug-locked by their manufacturer to prevent unauthorised
reading of their (trade secret) firmware. As long as 'unauthenticated debug unlock' is
not disabled on the chip, it is possible to unlock the chip for reflashing. The side-
effect of this is that the original firmware is erased before gaining access to the
chip (as this function intended).
Unlocking is best done using Simplicity Commander (works with any J-Link based probe).
Use 'unlock debug access' in the 'flash' tab in the GUI, or issue the command
`commander device unlock`.
