Hi,

I am not sure I fully understand the question but if you want to see the arduino core and library sources then click "project>show all sketch files". (Click it again to remove them or delete yourself)

If you are using atmel studio that was installed from the gallery you can update visual micro using the download from visualmicro.com

The latest release isn't in the gallery yet and includes support for the "show core and library sources". (I forgot the menu had been renamed in the past year)

The option has worked in visual studio for some years but the atmel version of visual micro has only recently been brought up to the same feature

You won't see an object file only the core and sources for arduino. if that isn't enough I can point you to the correct documentation.

Which platform are you using? avr/sam?

I see. The asm file is not specified in the arduino build configuration tools it is automatically discovered and used by the underlying tool chain.

You need to find the location of the file you need and then can add it as a link to your visual studio project.

Thanks

Hi,

As I explained this information is not contained within the Arduino configuration files instead it is hard coded in some of the underlying tool chain programs such as avr-gcc.exe.

Therefore, unfortunately your request is not practical.

Thanks

Sorry I have not been clear.

Visual Micro does not know about any specific hardware. Instead it supports the Arduino 3rd party build definition and a few other build definitions.

This is why you point Visual Micro to your preferred Ide(s) and allows Visual Micro to support hardware such as Arduino, Intel, ChipKIT, Teensy etc which all basically use the same configuration system.

The Arduino 1.5.x Ide also works this way but with slightly less flexible variations.

Visual Micro reads the configuration files from each Ide which provides a list of boards, programmers and discovers the available patforms such as avr, sam, pic32 etc.

Each of the 3rd party Ides also includes a set of cpp/c/h/s files to be used within the compile. These files are located in sub folders below the definition files so they can be discovered from known locations. These sources are called the platform "core".

The compiler commands are also read from the configuration file of each Ide. The configuration files also describe which tools to run when compiling such as avr-gcc.exe or an arm compiler for arm boards.

Visual Micro is designed to provide a replacement for the Arduino Ide but inside Visual Studio and Atmel Studio. The various Ides that it supports are constantly changing and it is a lot of work to stay current and also support the past. Users range from novice through to expert but support being provided for free means that we need to keep as close to the Arduino Ide way of working as possible allowing users to ask questions and make suggestions via the open source community of each supported ide. This means that questions such as your should be raised with the core ide developers so that they include knowledge/location of the source code you are talking about within their config files.

Of course the source code you are talking about will exist in a slightly different form for each platform. I try when possible to help users but have to rely on users who want advanced functions providing good and clear information. 

So far you have not said which hardware platform you are using, which ide vs/atmel or which arduino ide version. 

You have said that you have edited the source before so you must know where it is located and what it is called? This would at least allow me to look if their is some automatic way of discovering the right files. 

If I guess you are using an avr board then I suspect that what you are after is the avr system files. You might see the help files from the avr system in the Visual Micro Platform Explorer. If these are the files you are talking about then it might be possible them on the new feature request list the only issue is that Visual Micro has to guess where they are located because as stated earlier in this post nothing in the config of any ide tells us where to find these files (Each toolchain works it out for itself using a hard coded relative location)
