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

Then I assume you have the nRF Connect SDK and all its prerequisites installed on your computer as well. If so, can you try running an nrfutil device recover command from your command line tools to see if you can recover the nRF54L15 DK, since if the Programmer app doesn't work for programming the device either. It must be either that or that the correct versions of NCS prerequisites not being installed on your computer.

Best regards,

Simon

I believe I had a complete install but had no luck in programming the nrf54l15.

I completely removed VC and all nrf tool chains and SDKs

then used Chocolatey to insure I had the support packages and up to date environments

then reinstalled VC and then the tool chain and SDK through VC and this has cleared the issue.

I can now program the DK with applications compiled in VC.

Jlink support is still to be added for the nRF54 chips so that their memory can be read and the RTT can be found automatically for debug support in VC.

Thanks, I miss Segger Embedded Studio
