Microsoft provides Virtual Machines downloads to get started with Windows development.We are going to use one of these to demonstrate the OVF import feature.Yes, thank you for your help. Step-by-step example of a Windows OVF import Importing Virtual Machines and disk images | Qemu/KVM Virtual Machines - Proxmox VE This (and one other alternative) was going to be my "backup" in case I had to have a Windows environment : ĬodeWeavers CrossOver adds Microsoft Office to Wine though doesn't have Visual Studio. My experience debugging AVRs with gdb however has been less positive than ARM since on that side the JLINK stuff works pretty decently (or OpenOCD if one wants to go down that route, I've not had great luck) but as you probably know for avr there's debugWire (supported via avrice) but not the new UPDI to my knowledge. I do use VSCode for ARM and really happy to see all the progress there, this is a good suggestion.
Codevisionavr debugger drivers#
The JTAG ICE MKII can in theory be used by AVR Studio4 via WINE (or Studio7 if it would run) by using its RS-232 interface with a USB-to-serial adapter and passing the /dev/tty to WINE (that is pretty straightforward) but SNAP, PICKIT4 or JTAG-ICE3, etc probably can ONLY be used in a virtualized environment since Studio is looking to talk to those via the Jungo drivers :/. So VirtualBox or even KVM(virtualized Windows) is a possible solution but I was hoping to avoid that if possible. Linux Mint with Win XP in Virtual Box | AVR Freaks (AVR Studio 4.19) # Convert ELF to COFF for use in debugging / simulating in AVR Studio or VMLAB. It seems back in the day to get avr-gcc to work with Studio4 people had do the reverse (elf-to-coff) and used something like the following arguments: I guess I can try an objcopy from COFF to ELF to see if that works? I don't know if that's good enough or not. There are some other nice aspects about CAVR like peripheral initialization wizard that might possibly still be usable even with avr-gcc if the register naming is the same (which I would expect it to be). Yes, the above syntax is actually quite reasonable and I had found a similar solution that danni had posted (.
Codevisionavr debugger install#
Note: I WAS able to install AVR Studio 4.19 under WINE and get it to run, but debugging will be problematic (best I could tell) since it won't support any of the newer USB-only debuggers.īitflipz wrote: To my knowledge getting avr-gcc to do PORTA.5 = 1 and some of the other "bells and whistles" would take some manuervering not the end of the world but it's nice to use productivity enhancers when you know they work.Īnyway I fear you are out of lock - the COFF support for Studio in Windows was a "special" done to support Codevision which is a Windows based compiler - I doubt MPLABX has ever heard of Codevision. To my knowledge getting avr-gcc to do PORTA.5 = 1 and some of the other "bells and whistles" would take some manuervering not the end of the world but it's nice to use productivity enhancers when you know they work. I love some of the simple but helpful features of CVAVR like the peripheral configuration wizard, syntax like PORTA.5 = 1 or the routines to place string constants in Flash, easy to work with EEPROM routines and straight-forward ISR code. I'm a huge fan of CodeVision, I've used it off and on for a number of years with AVR Studio 4 (best experience) and AVR Studio 5-7 (bloated experience). Looking to use some of the newer Tiny devices (UPDI) that are NOT supported under the older AVR Studio4 MPLAB-X supports the newer PIC4 / SNAP debuggers (dW, UPDI, ISP compatible) CodeVision AVR seems to run under the latest wine-7 branch I could install, run and build an example project using the evaluation edition I'm trying to migrate my development environment to Linux
Of course CAVR+AVR Studio always worked well.If you're wondering why I'm asking about such an odd combination:
Has anyone tried to use CodeVision AVR as a compiler and MPLAB-X to debug? I know that CAVR produces COFF + HEX files and MPLAB-X is likely expecting ELF (avr-gcc or xc8), wasn't sure if just converting COFF to ELF would be good enough.
