No extra plug-ins or drivers should be needed for MCU-Link.

I would recommend trying MCUXpresso 11.6. You will have to downgrade the MCU-Link firmware to 2.263. I only started having these types of issues with MCUXpresso 11.7. I have used 11.4, 11.5, and 11.6 without issues over the last few years but now 11.7 is having problems. If 11.6 does work, then maybe wait for 11.8 to drop in July.

Regards,
Peter

Unplug all other probes but MCU-Link.
Shutdown all instances of MCUXpresso. Check in Windows Task Manager for zombie mcuxpresso processes (very often I have them). Or you can restart Windows.
Open MCUXpresso and your project.
Hold SHIFT key while pressing Debug to scan for new probes.

That will give you the best chance of it working. Make sure your target has power or you will get the ACK error.

Hello,

I tried without success.

I obtain now the follwoing messages after about 1 or 2 minutes of research...

Any other Idea?

Should I install other plugins in more than the normal installation of MCUXpresso?

The screenshot you provided indicates that multiple Redlink server instances were running. I suggest the following:

Use "Clean Up Debug" from the IDE
Disconnect and reconnect the MCU-Link probe and target hardware
Close all the other MCUXpresso IDE instances
Restart MCUXpresso IDE

MCUXpresso IDE v11.7 is expected to work even with the older MCU-Link firmware (e.g. v2.263). However, MCUXpresso IDE v11.6 will not work with the newer MCU-Link firmware (v3.x). Details can be found in a parallel community thread.
