I teach a class that uses the nRF52833DK, and we have had no problems working w/ dev kits up until this semester. We have several students who have ordered this DK with what appears to be a newer version of the debugging chip (v2.0.0, dated 2023.3), and some of them fail all efforts to flash. Running commands like nrfjprog --recover result in messages like:
09:10:56.654
Failed to recovering application core core. Error: [object Object], message: Batch task recover failed, [jlink] RECOVER_FAILED
09:10:56.902
Error: Failed with exit code 1. One or more batch tasks failed: - [jlink] RECOVER_FAILED, code: Nrfjlink. Message: Batch task recover failed, [jlink] RECOVER_FAILED.
or
$ nrfjprog -f NRF52 --recover --log
Recovering device. This operation might take 30s.
[error] [ Client] - Encountered error -21: Command recover executed for 118 milliseconds with result -21
[error] [ Worker] - Encountered unexpected debug port ID 0, expected 2
ERROR: Recover failed. Please make sure that the correct device family is given
ERROR: and try again.

Trying a hard or debug reset yields this:
$ nrfjprog -f NRF52 --hardreset
Applying hard reset.
[error] [ Client] - Encountered error -5: Command hard_reset executed for 2296 milliseconds with result -5
[error] [ Worker] - Encountered unexpected debug port ID 15, expected 2
ERROR: The --family option given with the command (or the default from
ERROR: nrfjprog.ini) does not match the device connected.
NOTE: For additional output, try running again with logging enabled (--log).
NOTE: Any generated log error messages will be displayed.

We've tried different versions of the JLink driver, including the latest, and WIndows, Mac and LInux platforms.
Any insights into how to proceed would be very appreciated!
