Hi,

Questions

1. 
What do you mean no breakpoint functionality? Are you saying you don't get any Micro Trace messages showing which breakpoints are being hit, or that the system is not pausing at breakpoints?

2.
Which board do you select when you use a jeenode? If a custom board where can I download it?

3.
What speed do you set when you test the serial?

If you do this in your loop do you see the millis in the serial window?

Serial.println(millis()) 

Thanks

That's great to know thanks!

So if this is still a problem maddox then please answer these questions

Yes all 3rd party hardware is supported. The following is a short summary of std Arduino rules also supported by VM

ArduinoIDE\Hardware
adding boards to an existing boards.txt 
creating new custom hardware folders with a new boards.txt
adding new or sharing variants
adding new or sharing cores

[SketchFolder]\Hardware (usually MyDocuments\Arduino)
adding boards to an existing boards.txt 
creating new custom hardware folders with a new boards.txt
adding new or sharing variants
adding new or sharing cores

In the Teensyduino Alpha version (see codeplex downloads list, this version is the standard plugin with extra support)

In every boards.txt you are able to specify a different tool chain and additional build properties for compiler,linker etc.

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the message. You can do this a few ways.

Yes, from memory I think so. If not then please let me know. However it's very easy to clone a board and give it a new name

The speed is always taken from the boards.txt (if it exists), so you can create your own boards.txt entries with your own speed(s)

You can also use the "Defines - Project" to set a speed which vm will recognize and use as an override. This allows you to vary the speed without changing board but I would recommend the board.txt for a static board speed.

The xml system due to be released shortly will not provide additional capabilities in this area but will be useful for other future things.

Here is an example of a working ATtiny boards.txt definition running at 8mhz:-

attiny45_8.name=ATtiny45 (internal 8 MHz clock)
attiny45_8.bootloader.low_fuses=0xe2
attiny45_8.bootloader.high_fuses=0xdf
attiny45_8.bootloader.extended_fuses=0xff
attiny45_8.upload.maximum_size=4096
attiny45_8.build.mcu=attiny45
attiny45_8.build.f_cpu=8000000L
attiny45_8.build.core=arduino:arduino
attiny45_8.build.variant=tiny8 

Here is a cloned example for an entirely new boards.txt entry. You can change any of it's properties.

attiny45_8V2.name=ATtiny45 v2(internal 8 MHz clock)
attiny45_8V2.bootloader.low_fuses=0xe2
attiny45_8V2.bootloader.high_fuses=0xdf
attiny45_8V2.bootloader.extended_fuses=0xff
attiny45_8V2.upload.maximum_size=4096
attiny45_8V2.build.mcu=attiny45
attiny45_8V2.build.f_cpu=8000000L
attiny45_8V2.build.core=arduino:arduino
attiny45_8V2.build.variant=tiny8
