nrf54LM20-DK fails to connect with Quickstart using USB. Debugger LED (L05) flashes quick and repeatedly.

Cannot find any legend for debug LED pattern in user guide.

Quickstart (v1.7.0) log says nothing of value for finding

Hi,

The fast blinking LED happens when the debugger is powered but not enumerated. There's no limitations w.r.t what type of USB the end that's not in the DK is, as long as it supplies the proper voltage and has a data wire.

I have two thoughts:

1. The USB-A to C cable doesn't have data transmission capacity, i.e it just supplies voltage. This happens if the cable breaks or if it doesn't have a data wire. USB-A to C doesn't always contain a data wire.
2. You've plugged the cable into the nrf usb port instead of the debugger port on the DK (they're very close together so this is something that can happen with ease)

Kind regards,
Andreas
