FreedomStudio Mac OSX: "Could not connect to J-Link. Please check if plugged into USB port or Ethernet switch"

I’m trying to use Freedom Studio on Mac OSX Catalina with the rev-b board.
I’ve connected the board to my Mac via a USB adapter (since the Mac uses usb-c)
However I get the following error when trying to run a debug:

Please help? How would I troubleshoot this ?

I’ve now installed freedom studio on MS Windows and got rid of the C-type USB adapter.
Same problem:

RevB is definitely plugged in and blinking with the test program.
Do I need additional power?
Where does this gdb server run on windows?

Finally! I’ve managed to fix this.

Nice ! How ?

OK. Using the correct DATA+POWER USB cable instead of just a POWER cable :sweat_smile:
