I had problems when I tried to debug because arm-none-eabi-gdb depends on libncurses.so.5 and my system has the version 6.2. I solved it installing this AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs/
Maybe it should be a dependency of mcuxpresso-ide?
For anyone else using this, there's currently a bug upstream that affects the LPC-Link 2 programmer. Other programmers may be affected as well, but this is the only one I use. The Link 2 doesn't get booted properly, so the IDE will give you a "LinkServer not found" error.
The dfu_boot script (should be under /opt/mcuxpresso-ide/ide/binaries) compares the first three characters of the dfu-util version against "0.1", because 0.1 used a slightly different output format. The problem is that as of 2020-11-29, dfu-util is now version 0.10, which causes the script to look for the old output format, which of course doesn't work. Commenting out line 133 should be enough to get it working.
I think one of the binaries used by the SDK also makes this same mistake, and doesn't actually use the dfu_boot script, so it won't work automatically. Instead, after making the change above, just run /opt/mcuxpresso-ide/ide/binaries/boot_link2 whenever you need the programmer booted, and the IDE should be able to see it afterwards.
I submitted a bug report upstream, but it was closed without comment, so I'm not sure if it'll be addressed prior to dfu-util being updated to 0.10 in Debian.
