PyOCD support for MIMXRT1160evk

[Gokuls7]

I tried to check the flashing procedure for mimxrt1160evk using west tool with zephyr. With JLink I could able to flash the blinky progam. But while selecting PyOCD as a runner I could not able to find the mimxrt1160evk device and while flashing, I face the below error,

$ west flash -r pyocd
-- west flash: rebuilding
ninja: no work to do.
-- west flash: using runner pyocd
-- runners.pyocd: Flashing file: /home/gokul/zephyrproject/zephyr/build/zephyr/zephyr.hex

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Kindly can you provide support for mimxrt1160evk or suggest the procedure to add support for mimxrt1160evk.

(Apologies for taking a long time to reply! 🙇🏽)

Looks like that is a mistake in the board IDs list. There isn't actually a builtin mimxrt1160_cm7 target type.

Please see the target support docs for how to add the RT1160 via CMSIS-Packs. You may also try the mimxrt1170_cm7 built-in target.
