Title: 'generic' 328PB as target
Post by TTSS on Jan 28^th, 2021 at 11:27pm

Hello All,
Is it possible to compile and upload to a 'generic' 328PB board through Visual Micro? This 'generic' board is just a ATMega328PB, a crystal, and an ISP port. Well, and a few bypass caps and a pull-up on reset. I'm using an AVR-ICE as the programmer.

The 'issue' seems to me that VisualMicro gets it's list of targets from the loaded boards in the Arduino IDE, not from the target one selects in AS7.

Thoughts? Thank You.
-Jaco

To use the Arduino cores and libraries, the Arduino board selections (and underlying configuration) has to be used.

There appears to be a board package available for Arduino, for the 328PB chip, which may allow this to work using the Arduino Framework:

Thank You Simon. The Wattuino Pro Mini PB is functionally identical to what I'm doing.....a 'generic, bare bones' 328PB. They add a board selection for the Atmel atmega 328PB Xplained mini development board. So this is a step closer.

Hi,

Hello,

maybe still helpful. You can go to Micro Explorer -> Manage Libraries > under additional boards
add the following line
[code]https://mcudude.github.io/MiniCore/package_MCUdude_MiniCore_index.json[/code]

Read here https://github.com/MCUdude/MiniCore

save it, wait a while and restart AS/VS if necessary.
