Problem with reading platform.txt elf linker option for mpide (Read 4510 times)

	There is a problem with reading platform.txt for mpide linker options "compiler.c.elf.flags=" Visual micro always reads "-Os -Wl,--gc-sections -mdebugger" as displayed with verbose messages on". Mpide reads the new options correctly, so this seems like a visual micro bug or i a missing something? Adding the flags in boards.txt generates duplicates errors so that is not an option. Thanks.

	Hi, We are a bit out of date with mpide which released a new ide a few months ago. Hopefully we can review it over the next week or so. Which board are you using? Thanks

	I am now using Max32 because as you probably remember from my previous post WiFire is also not supported by visual micro .

	Okay sounds like it needs some work. The currently supported version is displayed at the bottom of our mpide page. http://www.visualmicro.com/page/ChipKit-Pic32-and-MPIDE-in-Visual-Studio.aspx Thanks

	I am using that exact version 21.08.1014. I also tried newer versions but the problem is the same.After further testing it seems that platform.txt is not read at all, if i delete it i get no error and it compiles with default values. Is there any workaround to change linker options?How can i change default compile/link options in visual micro? Thanks a lot for your time .

	Strange. If I recall we don't use the mpide platform.txt because it isn't an arduino format file. It always amazes me that companies take the arduino code then try to make their own non-standard mechanism. I am just finishing up some changes for the next release. As soon as they are done I will re-test mpide. The platform.txt that Visual Micro uses will be under visual micro program files/Micro Platforms/MpIde/Pic32
