&lt;p&gt;There could be a few reasons for this happening, with different fixes. Here are some few steps you can try out (in no particular order):&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Verify that your J-Link version is compatible with the your SDK and nrfutil versions. If you have newer version than &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;the tested version&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;it&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;may&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;work, but we have no guarantee. If you have an older version, please upgrade. For the newest nrfutil version v8.66 is tested.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Restarting VS Code and plugging in the DKs again sometimes fixes these kinds of errors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rebooting the computer sometimes fixes these kinds of errors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maria&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
