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.

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?

Hi Robert,

Are you working on a custom board with the nRF54L15 SoC?
