NUCLEO-WBA55CG JTAG/SWD not able to connect via JLink

[sfarnswo]

I am attempting to connect to the STM32WBA55CG using a JLink Compact Plus following the following instructions from SEGGER: https://wiki.segger.com/ST_NUCLEO-WBA55CG.

This connection fails as the DAP is not responding. The output from JLink is attached below:

I am able to connect to the device using the STM32CubeProgrammer with the embedded STLINK, but I prefer to use a JLink for development to keep all our debug tools identical between products.

Please advise.

After some investigation of a SWD trace from the board, it appears as though the on-board STLINK was holding the SWCLK signal high and not allowing the attached JLink probe to toggle the signal. Removing R34 from the board has resolved the issue.
