break points before setup()?

I've decided to try once more to get the debugger working. My program is running on a Mega. I've hooked a second arduino up to Serial1 as a serial - USB converter. I've confirmed that this is working with a simple sketch.

My problem is that my program never seems to get to setup(). It's getting stuck either in a #include or when I instantiate some object. Whenever I put a breakpoint before setup(), I get:

Code
Select All
LimnoTerra.ino:At global scope
LimnoTerra.ino:86:31: error: 'MicroDebug' does not name a type


Is there any good way to figure out where my code is getting stuck before it gets to setup()?

Hi,

The debugger is a serial debugger, you can only place breakpoints where you might normally place serial.print statements.

Thanks

ok, thought so. Found the problem. I was instantiating the SdFat object with the wrong Chip select pin.
