hihi
Where does visualmicro for  Atmel studio get the compiler and linker settings from ?


- my board is based on a port  ( new variant ) for the SAM4S4A device,

in the Toolchain :  the c and c++ compiler settings show its importing files for sam3xa.

the linker was using a .ld file for the samd21g18 ( arduino zero ) instead of the one I specified in my boards.txt in the Variants folder.

I'm trying to figure out why the code compiles and uploads, but does not run on the cpu.

Windows 10, Atmel studio 7, Segger J-link

normal Arduino IDE loads my variant, compiles and uploads using bossa, but th ecode doesnt run on teh MCU ( it resets at the end of upload and then does nothing )

does visualmicro use boards.txt and platform.txt directly, or does it depend on the IDE to get those settings ?

Its a project I ported from an Atmel studio project to create a new arduino variant based on the Sam4s4a  - ( this was all pre Arduino Zero's D21 low pin count ARM )

I'm trying to figure out of my boards.txt, and all the variant configurations are correct, ( from verbose build it looks like its using the correct files )
and trying to see if my libsam was compiled correctly ( CMSIS, libsam and arduino core )

its easier for me to traverse calls through the imported files in atmel studio than in the arduino IDE.

cool, 
Do you know where it might be getting the 
"

Documents/Arduino/hardware/laserx/sam/system/CMSIS/Device/ATMEL/sam3xa/include 

" from ?

AFAIK i'm not referencing anything from the arduino Due in my boards.txt or platform.txt

everytime after I load VS the device selection is back to SAM3X
cannot seem to find why it keeps wanting to use teh sam3x's SystemInit() ( looks like it crashed there from the few succesful step thru code times i've had )

- I have it working directly in atmel studio using atmel studio's toolchain using my arduino cores port, now its getting the arduino IDE to succesfully compile the code ( this is where visualmicro is realy useful ).
