Build errors, Missing .axf file, and RedlinkServerException during debug launch

[Maheswari123]

Hello NXP Support Team,

I am encountering multiple issues while trying to build and debug my project in MCUXpresso IDE.

Environment Details:

• MCUXpresso IDE Version:  v11.8.0

• Host OS: Windows

• Target Board / MCU: MKM34z256vll7

• Debug Probe:CMSIS-DAP 

Symptoms Observed:

1. Build Errors / Missing .axf/.elf File: When attempting to build the Release configuration, build errors occur. Because of these errors, the .axf/.elf output file is not generated, resulting in the "Program file does not exist" debug launch error.

2. RedlinkServerException: When attempting to debug or connect, I receive a RedlinkServerException: Cannot write to server not open, indicating a communication failure with LinkServer.

3. Probe Discovery Issue: The IDE occasionally fails to properly discover or communicate with the debug probe.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Tried:

• Verified that build errors must be resolved, but need guidance on resolving the specific compilation/linker errors preventing the .axf file generation.

• Restarted MCUXpresso IDE and power-cycled the debug probe / development board.
