Hi Ev,

We do provide the free trial and ask that people use it to ensure the debugger works for them (see the note above the buy option). So if anyone else reads this post please use the trial you can still use the forum even if you are not a customer.

As concerns the crash where exactly have you placed the breakpoint? Please keep in mind that the debugger just uses normal serial so a crash can only be related to where the serial/breakpoint message is produced. You can not put a breakpoint in global code that initializes before the Teensy core has initialized.

Please state where you have placed a breakpoint and also what debugger settings you are using (or default)?

Thanks

Hi,

Behind the scenes, the debugger uses simple serial statements so we can easily see what it is doing.

Please switch on "tools>options>visual micro>compiler>show build folder". After compiling and uploading the builder folder will appear in the output window. 

Please zip the build folder and email to info[at]visualmicro.com. Please also zip and email the files in the "\visual micro" folder below the sketch folder

Thanks

Maybe the "Micro Trace" output window is selected because the debugger attempted to run? 

Please drop the list down and select "Micro Build" then you will see the build output and the path file:///....

Thanks for sending the files

This is a very simple example so it is strange you have a problem. There is only one text breakpoint at the start of the loop() and the serial for the debugger is initialized at 115200 at the start of the setup(). So it's really simple Arduino code that is crashing.

Questions

Does the crash happen if your #debug constant is defined and if not defined?

If your #debug constant is defined do you see any of your debug messages? If you do not see any messages then please try this

Move your own debug code to initialize immediately after the void setup() { like this ....

void setup()
{
#ifdef debug
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) {}
Serial.println(F("\nTerminal ready..."));
#endif

SERIAL485.begin(9600);
SERIAL485.transmitterEnable(2);

 

After moving your code to the start of the setup() then "debug>start without debugging" to upload. Does your code produce the same crash that Visual Micro produced?

Thanks

Hi,

When you compile and upload with both VM and your own debug, at what point does the teensy crash? Do you see any of your own debug messages at all?

Thanks

Okay, in the last release a user asked that we disable debug if not connected to the pc. So we added a 2 second delay instead of waiting for the Serial to be available. 

The delay that Visual Micro applies might need to be increased and I can tell you how to do that but first let us try/test to prove this as the case....

We didn't test this delay with teensy3 at 48mhz which is what you are using. Please try a debug upload at 96mhz and see if the crash is solved.

Thank you

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. 

Can you please switch on tools>options>visual micro>compiler>verbose then run a debug upload and and email the contents of the "micro build" output to info[at]visualmicro.com

Thanks
