Compiler error only in visual micro

The following code for an arduino Due compiles fine in the standard Arduino IDE 1.6.7

Code (C++)
Select All
void setup()
{
	/* add setup code here */
	while (!Serial) ;
	Serial.begin(9600);
	Serial1.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{

  /* add main program code here */
  Serial.print("Hello World\n\r");
  delay(10000);

}


But in Atmel Studio 6.2 with Visual Micro I get the following compiler error

Compiling 'EvaluateDue' for 'Arduino Due (Programming Port)'
arduino.h:42:18: fatal error: chip.h: No such file or directory
Error compiling

Initially I got this error also in the standard IDE but after configuring boards and following the guide for additional Core to be installed it now works in the standard IDE. Should it not then also work with Visual Micro ?

Hi, 

You are using an ancient version of visual micro with the most recent version of the Arduino Ide

Regarding updating Visual Micro to the latest version I'm a little confused. Under download I only find an option to download Visual Micro for Visual Studio but nothing for Atmel Studio. And it wasn't possible to run the downloaded installer at all.

Hi,

Atmel studio 6.2 is many years old.

The current Atmel version is 7.0.

Visual Micro is always slightly behind for atmel studio so with atmel 7 you can only use up to arduino 1.6.5

Last year microsoft release visual studio 2015 community as a free ide. It's easier to update than atmel studio which is why it's always slightly ahead.

The visual micro entry in the atmel gallery forum says that for atmel studio 7 you need to click the more info link and download from where the link takes you (microsoft gallery)

It's also very difficult to publish new software to the atmel gallery, every click including login takes approx. between 15 and 30 mins so this is why I update it less frequently.

The main download page on www.visualmicro.com gives the information you need to determine which Visual micro release you want to install. 6.2 is discontinued for obvious reasons.

Hope this helps

So unless I don't misunderstand you my issue here can't be solved with Atmel Studio 6.2. Instead I need to upgrade to Atmel Studio 7 and that wont work with the latest Arduino IDE 1.6.7. Do you mean that the best advice is to start using Visual Studio 2015 ? It might be better but of course time for learning it will be needed.

Yes, you can either downgrade the arduino ide to a supported version for As6.2 or use Vs2015 with 1.6.7

You can have both configurations installed at the same time. Use the .zip from arduino.cc to unpack older ids versions.

If you install VS2015 make sure you tick c++ via the Custom Install option during install. Otherwise you will have to do it afterwards and the install can take some time.

VS2015 isn't very different to 6.2. Atmel studio is Visual Studio so there is little difference.
