Now that I can compile and upload with the USB port, I want to connect and use the Atmel-ICE.
The board, MKRWiFi1010, is connected at the PC with USB cable only for power, checked hardware,  only tho wires inside the cable, and software: Windows - Device Manager - No COM ports available.

I studied the page carefully: https://www.visualmicro.com/page/SAM-Debugging.aspx ;

My setting is: 

vMicro – General – Global Option – GDB and On Chip Debugging – Gdb Enable = true
(Otherwise no errors, but don’t stop at breakpoint).

vMicro – Debugger – Debug - Debug: Hardware
Hardware programmer = Atmel-ICE

Build – Configuration Manager – Configuration = Debug; Platform = Win32; Build = unchecked; Deploy = unchecked;

vMicro - Debugger - Compiler Optimization = Default Optimization (If I change I can't compile without errors).

Build - Clean Solution
Debug - Start Debugging

The code is uploaded and run, you can see in the picture attached the flashing led inside the waiting for serial, and the led FLASH as programmed.
You can see also a breakpoint at line 58, obviously ignored if I see led flashing.

Attached you can find the Output captured jus before the error, after the error the Output is:

Quote:

Starting: \7-2017q4/bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe" --interpreter=mi
duino7\bin/openocd.exe" exited with code 1 (0x1).

We are looking into this, and will try and provide a potential work around shortly, which will just use the packaged options from the board package, via the custom GDB Debugger JSON file.

Workaround Option #1 - Specific to the project posted here
If you go to vMicro > Add Code > Add Custom GDB Debugger (Advanced), a new JSON File will be added to your project called "SAMD_MKRWIFI1010.Debug.debugger_launch.json"
Replace the contents of the file with the one attached here, and then try starting the debugging session again.

Workaround Option #2 - For any MKR1010Wifi project with Atmel ICE
Instead of the above, go to vMicro > Add Code > Add Local Board.txt, and add the below entries, and try debugging again:
Code
Select All
tools.atmelICE.server.boardCmd=
tools.atmelICE.server.scriptPath=
tools.atmelICE.server.targetCmd=-f "{runtime.platform.path}/variants/{build.variant}/{build.openocdscript}"
tools.atmelICE.program.boardCmd=
tools.atmelICE.program.scriptPath=


We are still investigating the root cause of the pattern merging incorrectly for this board/debugger combination.

I thought it was my problem. 
I tried the two workarounds, but they don't work, but no problem, I'm waiting for the final solution.
Good job.

Thanks for trying them.

Can you try the below command at the command prompt, and send us the output so we can understand further what is failing:
Code
Select All
duino7\bin/openocd.exe" -d2 -f
riants/mkrwifi1010/openocd_scripts/arduino_zero.cfg" -c "init; reset halt"

Thanks, the log from the OpenOCD command in the previous post looks correct.

With Only Work Around #2 in place:-
1) Enable vMicro Upload > Verbose
2) Can you try build + attaching the Debugger, and send the full Micro Build Output?

Looking inside the file attached before, I see at line 40:
Quote:
openocd: undefined debug reason 7 - target needs reset


So I press the reset on the board and again Attach to process.
Here this output.

Thanks,  Is there any additional output in the Micro Build Log after you have Attached?

There should be something similar to the below:

I have loaded the board with the sketch, then I close VS.
I have resetted the board.
Open VS, Build, Debug - Attach to process.
This is the Output and the screen shot.

As you can see from the screenshot there is a breakpoit at line 58, but the program don't stop and I see the flashing led waiting for Serial, so the program is running.
If I open TeraTerm the program proceed.

if I press the PAUSE icon [||] the program stops somewhere and I can go step by step. 
If I put a breakpoint inside the loop, and press CONTINUE, don't stop.
Seem to works but ignores breakpoint.

Thanks for the detail and persistence, we will continue to investigate and we will update this thread when this has been completed.

There are strange behaviors.

I decide to put a break point in main.cpp, line 37.
I press START and all works, the program stops at line 37, I can go step by step, If I press CONTINUE the program stops at line 58, at the second breakpoint.
Here the first Output (break_init.txt).

I remove the all the breakpoints (Debug - Delete All Breakpoint) close VS.

Again
Reopen VS and set a breakpoint at line 58 and press START the program starts and stop at line 58, but look the screenshot: the program is stopped at line 58, in the output you can see that there are two breakpoint, but if I press the Breakpoint icon I see only one, at line 58.


Debug - Attach to process don't stop at breakpoint.

Making this series of test I have also see, after press START, the led fade-in fade-out as when the bootstrap is started pressing two times the reset button, but I don't touch the reset. see output attached.

I hope it will be useful.

Good morning.
Today just turned on the PC I tried.
Open VS and the usual example EthernetHTTPS2.
The breakpoint at line 58 is still there.
I press |>START
The sketch is compiled, uploaded and stop at breakpoint at line 58, every thing seems ok.
In the Output window, bottom right, i see again 2 breakpoint, but in breakpoint list ther is only 1, as yesterday.
There are also some errors not displayed during compile after the start button.
Then I try to arrange the windows to take a screenshot of all together and detach the window of output from the bottom corner, but the window output-breakpoint are all together, so I decide to put the window in the original position and I drag the window to the bottom, when I release the window in the original position the system CRASH.

I open again, again |>Start
Now an error say: No valid JTAG ... see attached file.
It all seems very unstable.

It's repetitive.
Open VS with EthernetHTTPS2 - Start, after uploading the screen is as in window1.jpg
I move the output window as in window2.jpg
If I move the window back in its original position VS crash.

Now I want to investigate about the two breakpoint listed in the output.
Open VS - open EthernetHTTPS2 - Debug - Delete all breakpoint - ( I want to see if they will be still in the output) - Start  -> I can't see the output window on bottom right because there is an error.

Attached is the Output.

To try and answer all of these points:

Debug Start Hits Breakpoint, Debug Attach Does Not
Debug Start resets the board so you can hit a breakpoint as early as setup(), the Attach to Process will join the program where it is running currently (no reset).  With the breakpoint where it is on line 58, running Attach to Process will join the program after this line of code has been passed.

Two Breakpoints
The break on init() I believe from the reset command being sent to the board at the start of the debugging session, and it sending back the message as it hits its first line of code (init()).  This can be ignored as it is not a real breakpoint, which is why it is not in the breakpoint list in VS.

Upload / Debug Errors After VS Crash
It is possible the crash is leaving orphaned OpenOCD / GDB processes still connected to the board.  In this scenario, if you check in taskmgr that "openocd.exe" and "arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe" are both not running before restarting VS.  It may also be necessary to reset your board and debugger.
(The error "Error: unable to open CMSIS-DAP device 0x3eb:0x2141" can be either the device is not connected, or the device is already connected to a separate process).

VS Crash Moving Output Window During Debug Break Pause
We will investigate this further, and advise once this has been completed.
