I have tried programming my ChipKit WiFire board using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and the Visual Micro Plugin.
Is this board supported and if so why can't i find it in the recommended boards?
The board is not visible in the Visual Micro but it is in Mpide.I did correctly set the path for mpide.
What to do??


Best wishes and thx in advance.

Hi,

What is the version of MpIde you are using? 

Maybe there is a new version of MpIde that we have not tried which might need a few tweaks.

Thanks

Ok thanks.

I reply on users telling me when a new version of an Ide is available. ChipKit was tested with an earlier version so I expect the latest has some new features Smiley

I will take a look during the next week or so.

Thanks again

I looked into the wiFire board and the boards.txt definition is in the wrong place. It's in variants\wiFire\boards.txt instead of in the main boards.txt

I'll try to add something or give you a boards.txt definition that you can add. Not sure when time will allow for that.

More soon ...

Hi Wink.
I am working with  EvilChipkist on his project.

I also saw that chipkit wifire board is under variants folder,but mpide is seeing the board  and it is able to compile and program for it successfully.

After adding the info in that file to main board file and copying MZ-application-32MZ2048ECX to the pic32/cores/pic32 directory i get the following errors :

vector_offset_init.o:(.__vector_offset_BF810540_data+0x0): undefined reference to `__vector_offset_0'
vector_offset_init.o:(.__vector_offset_BF810540_data+0x4): undefined reference to `__vector_offset_1'
....

I checked that both ldscript and ldcommon are present and correctly written. Renaming chipKIT-application-COMMON-MZ to chipKIT-application-COMMON solves the error but it breaks all the other boards and the programmed code it looks like it is written in the wrong flash area(it doesn't get executed at all) Sad
Please help...

Thank you Smiley.

Hi,

I have no idea why Mpide is based on such an old version of Arduino, why they have tried to make their own customisations when the newer arduino versions support a flexible, standardized and published build process.

Every change they make to Mpide seems to take them further away from the Arduino standard thus isolating themselves from the reset of the world.

When the new Arduino 1.6.2 changes have been implemented during the next week I will try to see if there are some hacks that might make your board work but it's a really poor implementation. Sorry but it has to be said Smiley
