![]() ![]() ![]() Microchip Studio contains some "Arduino" functions unlreated to Visual Micro (such as 'Import Sketch'.However other novice users have been leaving poor reviews since the prompt was removed. Some advanced users might want to have a main.cpp and will be annoyed by the prompt. It is difficult to know how to handle this problem. In previous versions only a message was displayed in the compiler output. Solution: Re-instated in versions of Visual Micro after 1st dec 2016, a prompt will appear after compilation requesting the files be deleted. The code is a main.cpp in the project folder and a directory below the project called Device_startup. The code must be deleted for an Arduino project to compile correctly. Problem: Microchip Studio automatically adds source code to new projects.The errors have been reported to Atmel but do not affect operation of Microchip Studio. These are internal AS7 errors (false positive) and can be ignored. 6 errors appear in the Microchip Studio output window after the IDE starts.Please note that this does NOT affect the Arduino compatible build process. To specify a different Microchip Studio project mcu: 1) Switch off "vMicro>General>Automatic attempt to set the Microchip Studio project device" and 2) Use the native Microchip Studio project (or toolbar) properties to select the correct mcu device for the project. Advanced users might be working with a slightly different, but compatible, mcu to the one defined within the Arduino package. Visual Micro automatically attempts to set the Microchip Studio project mcu for the purpose of 1) intellisense and 2) native tool support. This ensures code compaibility with the Arduino IDE. The Visual Micro Add Library, Library Manager and Board Manager provides a way to install the Arduino libraries and board packages that adhere to that specification. Boards and Libraries should be installed and used as per the arduino specification. Only normal Arduino compatible board and library selections are used. Native Microchip hardware and library selections are not used by the compiler. This also applies to the selection of boards and libraries. When building, use Visual Micro to set compiler options such as Optimization, the Microchip Studio project properties have no effect on the Arduino build process. Using native tools requires the user to have more experience than for standard Arduino and Visual Micro tools. Native upload can be used with any debug choice and Native debug can be used with any upload choice. Native upload and debug are not tied to each other. It is the Microchip Studio documentation that should be consulted for configuration of Native debug and upload tools. When either of the Native tools are being used, Visual Micro entirely hands the processes to Microchip Studio. For debugging 1) Visual Micro Serial/WiFi Debugger and Visualizations or 2) Native Microchip Studio debugging and simulators. ![]() The Arduino compatible build process works seemlessly alongside one or more of the following:- 1) Standard Arduino upload options or 2) Native Microchip Studio Device Programming (Upload). For non-Microchip hardware, please use Visual Micro in Visual Studio 2022 which providers a wider hardware debugging experience. Microchip native upload and debug can only be used with Microchip hardware. Visual Micro ensures project codes stays cross-platform Arduino IDE compatible and also allows the Atmel platform specific tools to be used when required. Microchip Studio (previouly called Atmel Studio 7) with Visual Micro offers Arduino compatible project build alongside hardware and simulated debuggers.
