Hi,

There are a few questions here so I am going to ask or answer one by one.

What do you mean by 1.6.5 does not support the Zero? Did you install the SAMD core using Board Manager?

Thanks

... I forgot to mention that I have Windows 8 .
I tried to debug a simple program , such as in your tutorial , but this does not work ..

Hello,

First thanks for the quick response ...
I followed all of your descriptions , and compiled the project SketchTest1 as you see from the image below .
I do not know if I should have a file created in the " Output File " ... I have nothing and I do not know if it's normal ...
Later I made the Debug and what I see is the image 1

LED DEBUG on Arduino board is ON , and what I see is the image .. 2

And ' everything ok ?

Hi!

Here's How to Ask me ..
And come Visible the door is open CORRECTLY , debugging is active , but in the " micro Debug messages" and in the other is not written anything and Also , the LED on the debugging board is solid amber.. why ?

I see only one USB port that is the number 11 .
It only works on board the programming port , while the native USB port is not recognized by the debugger .

you please write me a code sample type Serial.begin ( ) and Serial.println ( ) ... but I did not work either

I tried to change the serial ...
I tried to reload the bootloader but debugging wrong!
The debug LED does not flash and the exit window I do not get anything ... I do not know what to do !

1)
Do not think about the debug led unless you want to use native atmel debug in a cpp project.

2)
Do not think about debug

3)
Just think about Serial or Serial1. When you have serial working then we can look at debug.

4)
If you have burned the bootloader then untick "tools>visual micro>upload using programmer"
Then plug cable into native usb
The upload to prove the native usb and the zero is working correctly.

Thanks

Hi,

The atmel gallery version of visual micro is slightly out of date. The zero is new so being updated regularly.

In the latest releases of Visual Micro the programmers menu includes different programmers for the zero and due etc.

Please upgrade from visualmicro.com

Thanks

No I am not saying that. Visual micro works fine with the Arduino Zero. I do not have "Zero Plus Clone" I only have a genuine Arduino but I will assume they are the same.

If it works in the Arduino ide then it will work with Visual Micro. 

What I am saying is that you need to understand the different options for the board that you have purchased. That you should test Serial in the Arduino ide until you understand your board then use Visual Micro.

I also said that latest releases of Visual Micro are available from visualmicro.com and that the ARM programmers list has a bug fix that prevented the zero programmers from showing in the programmers list. You do not have to wait you can take the version from visualmicro.com today.

That if you want to use the native Atmel Studio debug tools with the zero you must know that Atmel Studio does not support .ino files in cpp projects. This means that if you want an fully compatible arduino sketch and you want to debug then you have to use visual micro. The visual micro debugger is very simple and uses Serial. You HAVE to make your Serial work before you can use the visual micro debugger.

Thanks

I can answer your question but even when it works you will still have problems.


Questions

1)
Have you downloaded and installed the latest release from visualmicro.com?

2)
If you have the latest release of visual micro then make this test...

• Close all solutions
• Make sure the zero is selected in the tool bar
• Click File>New>Arduino Project

This should ensure that you have an ARM based atmel project and then you will only see 32 bit options.

You can also delete the atmel files (.cppproj) from Sketch1 and then click "File>Open>Arduino project". A project will be re-created based on 32bit.

Thanks
