Unable to compile for Leonardo in Arduino 1.0.1

Just changed over from Arduino 1.0 to 1.0.1 

When I try and compile and upload, I get this error

Code
Select All
Compiling 'NewLeoTest' for 'Arduino Leonardo'
core.a(main.cpp.o)* : In function `main'
main.cpp : undefined reference to `USBDevice'
main.cpp : undefined reference to `USBDevice'
main.cpp : attach()'
avr-objcopy* : No such file
avr-objcopy* : No such file
Couldn't determine program size: C:\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-size: st.hex': No such file


Before spending any time on this, do you happen to know if VisualMicro needs updating or is it a problem at my end?

Regards 

Blair

Hi,

No it's not a problem at your end. The plugin needs a slight tweak for the leo board same as provided by the Arduino 1.1 version. I thought they were holding off for the the arm changes which will give us multicore however they released the Leo stuff last week so I will do the same.

Hopefully you will see a release next week. In the meantime please use the "external" checkbox in arduino prefs.

The "external" checkbox forces arduino to check for sketch changes when you click compile which allows you to leave the sketch open in the arduino ide whilst making changes in visual studio

Thanks

oh! you are ahead of me. After looking atit in more detail there were more changes for the leonardo than i thought. I've added most of the changes but 1.0.1 does a lot of messing about with serial ports before and after upload. 

I need a leonardo to test with but they seem to be out of stock in the uk until 11th June.

I am using a couple of devices that are "Leonardo"ish in nature.   

The Vinciduino is a really well made board and uses the same pin defs as the Leonardo AFAIK

http://www.electrofunltd.com/p/pedidos.html

I am also using the mattairtech board, but that is not designed as a Leo-clone, so things like the Led's are on different pins.

Cool thanks, the compile is now working for the leonardo and have ordered a couple of clones to test the upload. it might be that I can put the upload code in as a config setting so you can try it out.

I think these changes also allow for teensy 2 but needs to be tested

Thanks. If I get time I'll try adding the upload changes. 

After looking at arduino codes changes, the problem with Leonardo type boards is that they drop the normal usb port and switch to a new port before upload. Then after upload window hangs if we don't wait for the Leonardo to reconnect on the original port.

Not to difficult, just a bit messy.

I stumbled on your keyboard project when searching google recently. nice!

Thanks

I have been designing and making feet for the keyboard today.  I printed a set, but somewhere between work and home I managed to lose a set of 4mm ID bearings. 

Electronically speaking I have the system working well enough for starters.  But my code so far is based on the Arduino 1.0 setup.  Keyboard wise, 1.0.1 is much improved, with commands in place for doing most key combinations that I might need.

Great, I'll keep an eye on it and feel free to create a topic somewhere with updates. It would make a great example for a debugger tutorial Smiley

That's a great link for electrofunltd thanks. I love companies that don't try to screw me! Great price, free delivery good service!!

Serial upload to Leonardo/USB type boards is working now. 

Upgrade should be a few days. Thanks again. 

There are some articles on the main site should anyone be interested to know what changes are required for Leonardo plugins. I you want to try out the new vm and arduino doc search then use this page and type in Leonardo and you will see them:-

The Leonardo is a great board. Did you spring for the black version?� 

Looking forward to the update.� 

On the keyboard front I completed the feet this weekend and have them pretty much working now.� Just need to put it all together!

The 1.0.1 version should be out over the next week.

In the meantime you can click the "External Editor" checkbox in the Arduino IDE preferences. This allows you to edit in VS and compile upload in Arduino IDE. 

The sketch can be open at the same time in both IDE systems

This is fixed in the 1.1206.30 beta in the downloads list of codeplex. Please let me know if you find any problems with the build. Are you on the beta testers list?

Hi 
I am not on the beta testers list as far as I know...

Thanks for sorting out the problem, I look forward to testing this.

Hello thanks for the update, try using the Build>Clean Solution when older projects are open that are failing. 

This will remove the compiler cache for the project.

To remove the compiler cache for every project you can delete the cache folder. This is an example of what is might be called :-

C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Local\VMicro

Perhaps the compiler cache should be linked to the version of the VM plugin. That way each upgrade to the VM plugin will force compilations.

Perhaps it should also be tied to the Arduino version detected?

yes, it is tied to the arduino version.

i have been trying to work out what was different so this can be handled better.

jo: did you upgrade your arduino between tests?

thanks

did you both get the beta debug instructions a few weeks ago?
