J-Link EDU not found by Nordic tools

Question

I am trying to debug/flash an nRF54L15 using the nRF Connect VS code extension and a J-Link EDU. Although my J-Link EDU works fine with all the Segger tools, including Ozone, the VS Code extension does not see it and nrfutil device list comes up empty. I am using Windows 11, nRF SDK v3.2.2. I have attached the output from J-Link commander and the output from nrfutil device list --log-level trace . The VS Code extension does work with the onboard debugger on a nRF70002-DK but the nRF54L15 I am using does not have a J-Link onboard debugger, hence the need to use an external debugger.

Hi Robert, 
 Are you connecting the J-Link via some docking station or so? 
 Could you try to connect it directly into the PC's USB port? 
 Also, could you tell me if the serial number of your J-Link device is being listed when you try: 
 nrfutil device list --traits jlink 
 as mentioned in this documentation ?

It was attached via a docking station. In this configuration nrfutil device list --traits jlink returned "No devices found". 
 I attached it directly, and then the nrfutil command returns the serial number of the J-Link EDU. Also, the VS Code extension now sees it and allows me to debug. So evidently, the docking station is a problem. It seems odd that J-Link OnBoard works with the docking station, while the J-Link EDU does not.
