Cant find Microsoft Android Tools for VS2015 (GDB)

The User Guide for GDB debugging http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Arduino-gdb-In-Brief.html
says that you need to install Microsoft Android Tools, via the Add/Remove Programs Setup.

I have tried, but cannot see the tools listed anywhere.

Here is what I see.

What am I not understanding? Shocked

Hi,

That's the right location but it's not possible to see anything in your image because nodes are collapsed and the window is scrolled to the top.

The android tools will probably be under the cross platform section

I'm having a similar problem
I'm currently using VS 2015 Enterprise with the latest updates

I originally thought it might have been "Visual C++ Android Development (Update 3)"
but installing that doesn't seem to have made the menu entry visible (Maybe there's been some changes since update 3)
I do have "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" installed

I've attached some screen grabs for info
I selected Arduino 1.6 and the Arduino Due just in case that had an impact on the debugger options visible
I noticed that you needed to select the Project within the Solution Explorer to get the Debugger menu to be visible
but I couldn't see an entry for "Use Visual Studio Debugger" which should in theory be visible in the list

I did come across this as an a seperate extension

maybe Microsoft have moved things around.

That's okay the android tools in your pic are selected to its installed.

Haven't added gdb definitions for the due yet. You can add them yourself to test then I can add to the release.

In the meantime try the arduino zero Smiley

Which board do you actually want to use?

Thanks for the info that sorted it
once I selected the zero board it then showed up in the menu entry
I was just looking for something to check I had everything needed installed for the option to show up

The boards I'm interested in are the Arduono due and the mbed type boards so I'll see if I can come up with something for the due now that I know of a working example

Yes you were spot on. 


This might be useful. Alternatively under the visual micro\Micro platforms\arduino16x\hardware\samd folder the boards.txt and platform.txt will show the working settings for the zero or under the energia16x\hardware\ folder look in the \tiva folder. The tiva example might be better than zero because it uses the ocd installed with visual micro.

The ocd .cfg files are below visual micro\micro platforms\default\tools\openocd\scripts\boards. I think the due chip cfg is there but you can add new ones then post and I will add to the release

if using a local board.txt to test then don't qualify the board name for the .cfg build property

It's not a very good doc, needs more work.

So which one of all the options that GarlicBread showed is the correct one? Is it the Mobile Development/Android Development, the Android SDK 3rd party or one of the numerous Dev kits?
I am presuming it is the first item, but a confirmation would be nice. I think the fact that it is a sub-entry is what threw both of us.

My original question is still completely unanswered. Angry
I don't have the disc space to install ALL of these options in the hope that one of them works.
Please let us know which one is correct and then update the documentation with either the exact correct name or a screen shot.
Please  Cool

Sorry it's difficult to keep track sometimes.

Probably just the cross platform mobile development c++ android development (update 3)

1st checked item in the picture
