"Set parameter operation failed" error message

I'm getting a "set parameter operation failed" error message, what does this mean?

This error error message indicates that the Target > Loader Parameter project property has been set and that you're using a "Comms Channel Loader" but that the loader has not specified a parameter setting handler function or, if a handler has been specified, the handler has returned an error. See the libmem_loader.h library documentation for more information.

It is also possible that you might see this error message if you have an unreliable JTAG connection, in which case try reducing the JTAG clock frequency.
