The IAR version I used was 8.40.

The error is shown below

Hi ryan

recommended to use J-Link PLUS debug probe as described in sect.4.2

attached Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK for i.MX 8M Mini.pdf

Check that appropriate j-link firmware used : https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink 

use "IAR and Segger tool patch to support MCUXpresso SDK for i.MX 8 devices GA"

https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=SDK_2.7_MX8_GA_Patch&appType=license 

Note, there is for option FreeRTOS task aware debugger for GDB, please look at

sect.6.4 FreeRTOS aware debugger plugin Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK and FreeRTOS OS.pdf

Best regards
