Import Arduino project which has external assembler .S file

Hello all,

I have just purchased and installed Visual Micro for Visual Studio 2022. When I try to open an Arduino project that has an external assembler .S file Visual Micro does not show it in the project explorer. It also says it can't find the external assembler function.

It all works fine in the Arduino IDE, so not the start I was expecting.

What needs to be configured to make this work?

Thanks

Clive

Thanks for the report.

If you click the "Show All Files" button at the top of the Solution Explorer, you will then see the *.S file there, where you can right click it and select "Include In Project".

It should then compile as expected.

Can you confirm you used either the File > Open Arduino Project, or vMicro > Open Existing Arduino Project?

NOTE: Currently this works correctly for *.s files but not for *.S files, which we will look at improving in a future release.

Hello,

I used File > Open Arduino Project

I then did as you said and use "Show All Files" and included the .S file.

I then renamed the .S file to .s and built the project.

It still does not find the ASM function or any of the labels defined in the .s file.


I then tried vMicro > Open Existing Arduino Project with a copy of the original Arduino project and the above steps and it does not work.

I have been using PlatformIO for about a year and that works fine. I just thought I would try Visual Micro to see if it is quicker at compiling as PlatformIO can be slow sometimes.


Thanks 

Clive

Thanks for the update.

If you rename the file back to being *.S then it will compile as expected in both Visual Micro and the Arduino IDE.

Hello,

I have attached the file ASMtest.zip

This Arduino project works with the Arduino IDE and PlatfomIO as is. Please can you show me how to get it to work in Visual Micro.

Regards,

Clive

Thanks for the update and the project.

We have opened this in Visual Micro, added the *.S file as before (leaving it as *.S), and this compiles fine for a Cortex-M7 chip (we used the Portenta H7 (M7 Core).

Can you enable the options shown at the top of the page, and perform a build on your project, and attach the complete build output in Visual Micro?
