Issue:

When trying to flash or debug a CC27XX using CCS 20.3.0, the following error is reported:

Cortex_M33_0: Flash loader: CC23xx_CC27xx_FLASH_LIBRARY_VERSION 4.1.0.141
GEL: Error while executing OnPreTargetConnect(): Secure Debug Manager library not loaded!
         at GEL_LoadSecureDebugManager()
         at GEL_EvalOnTarget("CS_DAP_0", "GEL_LoadSecureDebugManager()") [cc23xx_xds.gel:81]
         at OnPreTargetConnect()
Error connecting to the target: (Error -2001 - (0:20:0)) Internal error: Invalid parameter passed to function. Restart the application. If error persists, please report the error. (Emulation package 20.3.0.3656) 
GEL: Error while executing OnRestart( 0 ): Connect failed
         at GEL_Connect() [cc23xx_connect_util.gel:41]
         at ConnectIfDisconnected() [cc23xx_xds.gel:101]
         at OnRestart(0)
AutoRun: Unable to run the target at this time
AutoRun: Target not run as breakpoint could not be set: Cannot enable while the target is disconnected
Target is not connected

This is due to the Secure Debug Manager dll included in this version of CCS is missing some dependencies.
