Hi, Terence,
Regarding your issue that "We are using the OM13094 to program our target board and recently damage couple chips already. And always on the RST pin.", I think I can only give you suggestion.
You said that you use 1.8V logic, do you mean that the VDD of the target processor LPC54605 is 1.8V? because you short the PIN2&3 of JP2, which means that the ResetN, SWDIO and SWDCLK pins of LPC54605 are all 1.8V logic, so I think there is no problem, because all VDD and ResetN, SWDIO and SWDCLK pins signal voltage of LPC54605 are all 1.8V.
I suppose that if VDD is 3.3V, but you input 1.8V logic voltage for signal pin for example Reset pin, maybe there is problem, because the 1.8V voltage is a middle voltage.
We use 3.3V logic to download code and debug, never have problem. If possible, can you use 3.3V for both VDD and SWD signals for LPC54605?
