Hi.
I'm using Aurduino AURIX TC275.
It appears in the board list, it builds fine, and uploads the code to the board just fine.

The only think is that Ctrl+J does not leave any options, nor does it seems to find the TC275 includes for the UI.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Or can you help me in any way?

You mean the VS intellisense has started to fail or the Visual Micro compile?

"Guys" is just me

You are working with a very new, different and expensive board that few people will be using.

It's no problem but new boards that are non arduino take a short time to test and cater for especially on the intellisense front.

Visual studio 2017 also has a few bugs but it's getting better slowly.

If you want this board tested you should always provide details of how to install the tool chain that you have installed in boards manager.

Hi.
You gave me the idea to look into the board manager.
And it's not present there.
I have to give it an hour to dig into this and see how far I can get.

Is this bad, VM-system-wise?

If so, first of is to add it manually I guess.

So let me understand this correctly.

You want me to install the new ide that is not the arduino ide?

You want to install the unsigned .exe from your download?

It asks for a password that I do not have?

It installs a different ide to the arduino ide with new features and capabilities?

Then you want me to install a tool chain outside of the arduino ide that doesn't comply with the standard arduino way of doing things and that tool chain wants me to copy a license file to a particular location after registering on their website?

and your questions is if visual micro is arduino compatible and why doesn't it work with standard arduino projects? 

If the downloaded exe that you will give me the password for updates the arduino ide program files then it is no longer the arduino ide.

It looks like a good thing and worth some time to explore which I will do if you give me the password but let's not over simply the request and not expect that anything you have installed matches anything normally found for arduino.

btw: It is okay for the file layout in your image, I suspect the issue is the multiple cores which is why you have to jump through so many hoops to install this board.

No problem, I will try it.

You can set "file>preferences>external editor" in the arduino ide then open the same project you have open in vs. Then build and upload in arduino ide is easy and auto reloads the code prior to build. This is a build and upload solution for the short term that gets you ability to code in VS but upload via arduino.

I can look at the intellisense issues more quickly than the build issues.

Hi.

Ok, I understand, don't take any risks, that you feel is too high.
I respect that. 
You have to protect your installations, environment and data.

Since I don't have the source code, I can't give it to you.
This is what I know:
The system installs the Infineon Memtool 4.8 for flashing the TC275 cores.
I think the rest is a copy of an Eclipse version and an UDE (Unified Debug Environment) for Eclipse.
There is a USB driver for Serial and JTAG that's installed too.
Also A DAS is installed that scanns the board for ID and revision, used by Memtool.

Further:
Visual Micro is amazing, I can code and upload using VS/VM, it's only the code helper/intellisense is not working for this perticular board, otherwize it works great.

You have tried, I can't ask for more.

Maybe over time, more data will be available, and I learn more about Intellisense.
If you have any ideas, and need data that I can provide, you are very welcome to ask me and I will provide all I can.

Thanks, you are the best.

Ignore my PM request

Try the latest release from the post linked below.

Intellisense should be a lot better with aurix but not perfect.

It will probably improve some more when the tool chain is available but some underlying syntax won't be recognized by VS.

That said, very few boards are 100% perfect for intellisense in VS but hopefully you should not see errors in your own code, only in some underlying system code files.


> Work in progress

Great, thanks for letting me know.

I have looked at the Aurix hardware some more and see it is essentially produced by a known source so I am not so cautious about installing their software now.

I will try to look at the toolchain side over the coming months. There are more "include paths" in it that will help intellisense in some of the underlying system files.
