	Hi there, i tring to work with the attiny for the first time. I want to debug the programm on my attiny84. For uploading my programm, i have to use the release mode, because the dubug mode does not work. When i try to debug their is allway this massage: Compiling debug version of 'Sketch1' for 'ATtiny24/44/84' VM_Boards.h: 653:2: error: #error "Please edit Boards.h with a hardware abstraction for this board" #error "Please edit Boards.h with a hardware abstraction for this board" HardwareSerial transport void begin(HardwareSerial theSerial) void begin(HardwareSerial *theSerial, unsigned long baud) #define TOTAL_DIGITAL_PINS TOTAL_PINS-TOTAL_ANALOG_PINS for (i = 0; i < TOTAL_DIGITAL_PINS; i++) #define TOTAL_DIGITAL_PINS TOTAL_PINS-TOTAL_ANALOG_PINS for (i = 0; i < TOTAL_DIGITAL_PINS; i++) Error compiling libraries Debug Build Error: This hardware might not support the default Visual Micro Debugger. If this project is using OTA/WiFi upload then please use the vMicro>Debugger menu to set the Serial COM and Remote port for the debugger. Otherwise switch the toolbar from 'Debug' to 'Release' and build again. or switch off Automatic Debugging or configure the SoftwareSerial debugger option. Debug build failed for project 'Sketch1' I am using the following setup: Visual Studio 2015 newest version of visual micro Arduino Uno as Programmer (Arduino as ISP) Arduino IDE 1.8.5 How can i do this with visual micro? thanks for helping

	sorry i missed this post initially. by default the default uses Serial so I have some questions Does your board support using Serial.begin() and Serial.print()? if not Does your board support Arduino SoftwareSerial? You don't need to make any changes I just need to know the answer to the questions before I can give a better answer. It would also be useful to know how you installed the hardware (.json url or git etc?)
