Debug problem : MCUXpresso 10.0.0 + LPC-Link 2 + MKL27Z256xxx4 = Target error from Write Memory: Et:96

I'm trying to use an LPC Link2 to debug a custom board with an MKL27Z256xxx4 on it. 

I've proven the board is function and MCU debuggable using USBDM with the same hardware and cables. But want to use an LPC link 2.

I was able to start a debug session occasionally with the LPC Link2 but can't get it to work reliably since the first initial sucess. 

This is happening with the boilerplate project generated by MCUXpresso new project wizard. Using the SDK from MCUXpresso config tools, SDK 2.2.0. So shouldn't be doing anything to cause the issue. And the fact USB DM works with the code, board and cables shows it should work.

The LPC Link2/MCUXpresso error I am getting:

Target error from Write Memory: Et:96: Pseudo-address (0xFFFFFFxx) for EXC_RETURN is invalid (GDB error?)

Any ideas?

Can you check your board debug/reset circuitry against : Design Considerations for Debug 

Can you also confirm whether you have JP2 header fitted on your LPC-Link2 (in respect to the VTREF comments in the above FAQ). Also if you are attempting to power the target from the LPC-Link2 and you see problems, then when you see problems providing separate power is a good idea.

Regards,
