Hi,
From hardware perspective, pls open the JP6 on the LPCXpresso55S16 board. Connect J1 Link2 USB connector as you have done, which is a debug USB connector.
On the MCUXpresso IDE, pls as the following procedure to download code to flash
1)click the project to select it
2)click "Build" to compile/link the project
3)click "Debug" to download code
If you still have issue, pls press SW4 button, then insert USB cable to J1, then release SW4, try to have a "Debug" .
or delete the "*.launch", try to click "Debug"
Hope it can help you
