Hi @bp1979 ,
Please don't worry, it is not the difficult issue when you can debug it previously.
Do you also leave the boot mode in your customer board or not? I mean, whether you can enter the serial download mode or not? And also fanout the USB port? Or the UART port for the boot:

If yes, you can enter the serial download mode, then do the internal flash erase, then your debugger will be recovered.
Or you can enter the serial download mode, then use this MCUXpresso button at first:

If still can't work, then you can check whether you leave the USB or the UART as I mentioned, then you can use the MCUBootutility tool to connect your board in the serial download mode, and erase the internal flash memory: 0X60000000 to 0x60010000

After you do the erase in the serial download mode, then change back to the internal boot mode, then your debugger should works again.
Best Regards,
