Good day,

I would like to put this question to the Visual Micro team.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I do not know this site works.

I have installed the next programs :

I have installed the next programs :
Arduino IDE 1.8.1
Atmel studio 7
Visual Micro for Altmel studio 7
End I use Window 7
End I wants use the SAM-ICE for programming and debugging

First If I open a project I get the next message :

13:48:50: [WARNING] Error updating project settings:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

When I program the arduino DUE with the SAM-ICE it works good, but if I use   Build & Upload  I get the next message:

Compiling 'BlinkWithoutDelay' for 'Arduino Due (Programming Port)'
Program size: 21,924 bytes (used 4% of a 524,288 byte maximum) (0.46 secs)

Uploading 'BlinkWithoutDelay' to 'Arduino Due (Programming Port)' using 'Atmel Studio ATMEL-ICE (ISP)'
Error during upload using programmer
The uploader process failed

[ERROR] Could not find tool.
The uploader process failed
The uploader returned an error

Should give you a hint how I can solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

1) Ignore this message, it's a bug in atmel studio and is harmless

13:48:50: [WARNING] Error updating project settings:Object reference not set to an instance of an object


2)

Set the programmer to "Atmel Studio Device Programming" not  'Atmel Studio ATMEL-ICE (ISP)'

This causes Visual Micro to automatically use whatever tool is configured in the Atmel project properties and the same as using "Tools Device Programming" but automatically uses the result of the Arduino build.

Hello

The debugger works now.

I'm very happy with it, tomorrow I'm going to see how the debugger works.

Regards,
Leen

Hello,

I still have a question.

If I make modifications in the INO file, how can I make on a easy way the cpp file equal to the ino file.

Hi,

When you have a project_name.cpp the .ino files are no longer used. In fact you could comment or remove all of the .ino code because the .cpp does everything and it is the .cpp that you must update as live code.

We are working on supporting atmel AVR hardware debug from Visual Studio (VS). VS supports .ino files without need for .cpp. Currently only boards like the Arduino Zero that use gdb are supported in VS.

Hello,
After I have install the program I have done other work.
Now I started with the Debugging Tutorial. ( DEBUG )
I think that I use a SAM ICE as programmer and debugger the Debugging Tutorial  does not correspond to my configuration. ( Atmel studio 7 - Visual Micro an the SAM ICE )

Gladly an advice where I can find the right tutorial.

When you use Atmel studio device programming you are not using visual micro to debug.

Please read the Atmel studio tutorials
