Works under Arduino, does not work in Visual Micro under Visual Studio.

I do not have this problem with the ATTiny84/85 support I added.

Using latest Visual Micro version.

I have tried various install techniques, including modifying the master Arduino boards.txt. In all cases it's worked under Arduino, but not under Visual Micro.

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed report. From the report it looks like a bug in how Visual Micro constructs the location of the variants folder which your board def specifies it should be inherited from the main "arduino\variants\eightanaloginputs"

Code
Select All
atmega328smd16e.build.variant=arduino:eightanaloginputs


Can you please explain where you have placed the new boards.txt so that we can replicate.

I short term solution would be to paste your new board definitions into the arduino\hardware\arduino\boards.txt that is shipped with the arduino ide and then you probably can remove the "arduino:" before "eightanaloginputs", you could also then change the "arduino:" from the .core property as follows:-

Code
Select All
atmega328smd16e.build.core=arduino


I hope this make sense, we will fix this in the next release.

Thanks again for the report
