#if defined..... Board definitions does not work ?

I have the same issue.
Recently it works, and suddenly stopped!

This is code that i used:

#ifdef arduino_due_x_no_USB.build.variant
#define USB_ENABLE 0
#else
#define USB_ENABLE 1
#endif

this "setup" is based on this line:

build.variant=arduino_due_x_no_USB

I use VisualMicro on Atmel Studio 7

Please switch on vmicro>compiler>verbose and "show build properties"

Then build and post the output as a .txt file or email to info[at]visualmicro.com

General

That looks like a custom board so you always need to provide this info so we can see what yo have set.
We also need to see the build info because that will tell us which version of the sam toolchain you have installed
If you have downloaded that board from the internet then please also supply the url that you used

Thanks

I found the reason, I not edited definition in variant.h. The funny thing is why this worked before? Nevermind, sorry for problems.
Thank you for fast response.

Meanwhile i found another "strange" issue, when i check "Always Export Binary" the binary is exported but it has name:

project_name.ino.arduino_due_x.bin 

why not: project_name.bin 

where can I change naming behaviour?
sorry for offtopic.

Hi,

The project_name.bin is what visual micro creates and that will be in the Intermediate folder.

The export name is governed by your platform.txt which contains a "savehex" pattern that produces the name designed by the authors of the sam toolchain that you have installed.

The platform.txt can be found with the sam hardware definition alongside boards.txt. Use the Platform Explorer to see the source path or switch on compiler>verbose to see core folders after a build.

tip: you can create a local board.txt in the project and override any platform.txt properties. Just copy a line from platform.txt such as a recipe into board.txt and change it to whatever you want. Click "Save" on board.txt before build because VS auto saves txt file changes after the build.

Now is almost perfect, but how to get rig off "ino" part of the file name? now i've got "project_name.ino.bin" Maybe its possible to  add "variables" in code? And then use them in boards.txt ?

I "one word" recipe is vary from board that I choose. So perfect solution will be variables, macros in code. I hope I will could change it via preprocessor statements. Now I found resolution, hardcoded filename in boards.txt

Switch on "vmicro>compiler>show build properties" then find some variables you like.
