I'm working with the RT1170 and MCUXpresso IDE. While the MCU-Link debugger is working fine with no issues, I encounter the following error when using J-Link

How can I debug with J-Link?"
Hello, my name is Pavel, and I will be supporting your case, maybe this threat could help you.

Hi Pavel,
I'm familiar with the issue mentioned in the post you referenced. However, in my case, that's not the issue. When I'm using other debuggers (such as MCU-Link), I'm able to debug fine. This problem only arises when using the J-Link debugger cable.
Hello, could you share an image of the issue and your setup?
Best regards,
Pavel
