J-Link does not recognize the NRF54L15

[Evluma]

Issue with debug on the PDK eng_rev_B PCA10156

Segger does not recognize the chip and debug fails across multiple sample applications

debug message results:

These sample application worked on the nRF54840 Dev board, built from the same code alternate build, and are from 2.7.0 

Segger kicks up the following screens when trying to debug

Thanks in advance

Hi

Are you using SEGGER Embedded studios here or the just a J-Link viewer of some kind? SEGGER Embedded Studios does not support the nRF54 series, as we have moved to the nRF Connect SDK which is a Zephyr RTOS based SDK. Development is recommended to be done in VS Code with the nRF Connect extension, and building/flashing is done with west.

Best regards,

Simon

We are using the nRF Connect SDK with Zephyr.

The error is occuring while trying to program and debug an nRF54L15 chip through VSCode. Also worth noting that using the Nordic Programming application I am unable to read the memory of a nRF54L15.
