[ERROR] Could not set device properties

Hello all

Currently, I'm working on my first project using Atmel studio 7 and I'm facing a problem when trying to debug my code. As hardware, I'm using an Arduino due board and the Atmel-ICe debugger through a JTAG connection.

I already did the debugging tutorial provided in this link:
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging-Walkthrough-Start...

and set all the "Default" configurations as said in this other link:
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging-Modes.html

I also already checked my connections and all configurations I know I should do but I just keep getting the same error.
Just to mention, this does not happen when I debug using Atmel studio without vMicro.

Hi

Visual Studio and Atmel Studio have different capabilities. Please follow the guide here.

https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Arduino-for-Atmel-Studio-7.aspx

The links you have posted are for the serial debugger, if you want to use the ICE then you will be using the Atmel Studio hardware debugging which is slightly different. The guide above should help. It also explains how to use Atmel Studio device programming for upload.

Let us know if it is still not clear after reviewing the guide.

If you are new to Atmel Studio and have no reason to use it over Visual Studio, then I reccomend Visual Studio which is easier. Your license covers both Atmel and Visual Studio so you can try them both. Each has its own plus and minus's.

When you set Visual Micro to use Atmel device programming and Atmel debugging we hand over to Atmel for each process. Then the Atmel documentation becomes relevant.

Thanks for the detail.

Can you confirm what version of Visual Micro is on your other computer? (Extensions > Mange Extensions > Installed)

Please show screen shots of the vMicro>Uploader menu and the vMicro>Debugger menu.

Thanks

You should set the vMicro>Uploader programmer to "Atmel Studio Device Programming" + "Use Programmer for Upload". 

The vMicro>Debugger menu should be set to debug off + "atmel studio debugging"

With those two options set we will use 100% atmel for upload and debug. You can then set upload/device/tool using the standard atmel studio project properties (not visual micro)

Atmel studio only supports its own debugger which is why the other vMicro debug options are not required. In future releases for atmel studio we will hide the options for "Hardware debug". Atmel has its own hardware debugger and it is configured as per their docs using the project properties and device programing tools.

In effect those two vMicro menu settings hand over entirely to atmel studio for upload and debug. After a build you should also see in the project properties that visual micro has set the path of the .elf that was produced by the compiler. Atmel just needs that path and the two vMicro settings to upload and debug.

Can you select the ICE in the project properties?
