New error with Release (1603.28) - Simblee Board

New error introduced with Release (1603.28) - using Simblee board - going with basic "Blink" ino. Builds fine, but when select "Build & Upload" get error below (see attachment for verbose output). Note: my laptop still has Release (1603.25) which works great:

Compiling 'TestSimblee' for 'Simblee'
Program size: 3,548 bytes (used 3% of a 131,072 byte maximum) (3.37 secs)

Thanks for the good info.

I see you are using arduino 1.6.8.

I just tested and it worked well but there are two things you should note.

1) Make sure you have run arduino 1.6.8 at least once. (I am sure you have but saying anyway)
2) Update to the older Simblee definitions you are using to the new 1.0.2. You can do that in boards manager.

Hopefully with these two points in mind you have the same config as my test and a better result.

Tim, thanks for the reply... I definitely was good on #1. 

Tried both 1.0.0 and 1.0.2 of Simblee defs, as well as Arduino 1.6.8, 1.6.7 and 1.6.5 - all with same results. Building for RFduino works fine.

And I was using this same setup for several weeks with earlier Visual Micro releases with great success (and still have success on my laptop which has 1603.25).

Question - Is there any way to get an earlier version of Visual Micro for further testing?

Any other ideas?

Thanks SO much!!

The only thing that changed in the last release was that the build folder was moved to the window temp because of so many problems with strange chars in the "c:\user\[name]" window system.

However the build output you posted did not appear to show that output folder.

Please switch on "tools>options>visual micro>compiler>show build properties" and "verbose"

Then build and post of email the output.

Thanks

ps: be careful running so many arduino versions. when you run 1.6.6+ for the first time is copies the board manager installs from "c:\users\[name]\appdata\roaming\arduino15" to "c:\users\[name]\appdata\local\arduino15". Then when you use the 1.6.6+ board manager it installs into the "local" folder but when you use the boards manager in 1.6.5 and below it installs into the "roaming" folder. So it's possible to have two different hardware versions installed. If you have dropped back to 1.6.5 then delete the arduino15 in the "local" folder so you have a clean 1.6.5 and below.

Tim, thanks again for your follow-up! I am attaching the verbose + build properties output. 

Regarding multiple Arduino versions - I have only been using 1.6.8 for couple of weeks without problem. I was building and deploying successfully to Simblee with 1603.25 and nothing at all changed when I updated VM to 1603.28 (and now with 1603.30.4) to get these errors.

Also, just to test, I went ahead and deleted local\arduino15 folder, used Arduino 1.6.8 to get that all rebuilt, then tested Visual Micro again with same results.

BTW, this is all working fine to build/deploy RFduino, Sparkfun ESP8266, NodeMCU, and standard Arduino boards.

Remove the quotes from the {build.project_name} and it will work (after clicking tools>visual micro>reload toolchains or restarting).

Edit the platform.txt file in "C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\arduino15\packages\Simblee\hardware\Simblee\1.0.2"

Change from
Code
Select All
tools.RFDLoader.upload.pattern="{path}{script}" {cmd} {serial.port} "{build.path}" {build.project_name} "{path}" "{compiler.path}"


Change to
Code
Select All
tools.RFDLoader.upload.pattern="{path}{script}" {cmd} {serial.port} "{build.path}" {build.project_name} "{path}" "{compiler.path}"



This hardware also does not build with recent arduino ide versions. If you want it to work with the arduino ide then also edit platform.txt and add the core sub folder to "{build.path}/syscalls.c.o"

Change from
Code
Select All
recipe.c.combine.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.c.elf.cmd}" {compiler.c.elf.flags} -mcpu={build.mcu} {build.extra_flags} "-T{build.variant.path}/{build.ldscript}" "-Wl,-Map,{build.path}/{build.project_name}.map" -Wl,--cref -o "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf" "-L{build.path}" -Wl,--warn-common -Wl,--warn-section-align -Wl,--start-group "{build.path}/syscalls.c.o" {object_files} "{build.variant.path}/{build.variant_system_lib}" "{build.variant.path}/libSimblee.a" "{build.variant.path}/libSimbleeBLE.a" "{build.variant.path}/libSimbleeGZLL.a" "{build.variant.path}/libSimbleeForMobile.a" "{build.variant.path}/libSimbleeCOM.a" "{build.path}/{archive_file}" -Wl,--end-group
