I am setting up our production facility in India. Brought out our test jig software that flashes the nRF53 modules.
I use nrfutil to program the boards via "nrfutil device program --firmware C:\\firmware\\merged_domains_1128.hex --options chip_erase_mode=ERASE_CTRL_AP,reset=RESET_SYSTEM,verify=VERIFY_READ --json"
I can not get JLlink to accept the ERASE_CTRL_AP parameter. Its working fine in the UK production facility using the exact same command and the exact same test jig software. The only differences where is the nrfutil device version (see nrfutil device list command fails ) and the JLink version. I cannot access the UK machine so I cannot list the working versions there - hence this ticket.

ChatGPT (yes I have had to use that) is suggesting that I should be seeing a line with "probe-plugin JLink" in the device list output. Apparently as thats not there, the nrfutil isnt using the JLink debugger - its using "generic.
Is that right? And how can I get it to show up here......
All the hardware connections are fine as I can use the nRF Programmer v4.6.2 to program the hex file. Its just nrfutil thats giving me the issue
