Creating project for at91sam7

[bremen]

Hello there,
I have encountered a problem when creating a project for embedded device at91sam7x256. At the stage where i am supoosed to choose debug method i see none so i click “install support for additional debug methods” hoping there will be open-ocd or jlink installed. After clicking it im getting a message that there are no additional packages avaible for my target and i need to constact support if i need one.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Hi,

Which toolchain are you using? Please use our arm-eabi toolchain (it is installed automatically when selected on the toolchain page). Please also note that OpenOCD/J-Link is available starting from VisualGDB 4.0 and won’t work on 3.x.

I have the nevest app and i have installed the toolchain

Can you please create a new project with the default debug method (e.g. GDB simulator) and send us the created files? This will help us analyze your problem and suggest a solution.

Additionally could you please check your firewall settings? Visual Studio process needs to have internet access in order to download additional packages. If this is not possible, we can provide you with instructions on manually downloading and installing those packages.

I cant do anything, firewall and antivirus is off.

Hi,

Based on your screenshots, you are still using version 3.x VisualGDB, please install the latest 4.0 beta from the download page at http://visualgdb.com/download/.

Actually it doesnt work…
I cant build the sample code provided. Here are my errors:

Error	1	error : 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode	A:Dropboxprogramowanievisual_gdbEmbeddedProject1EmbeddedProject1LEDBlink.c	8	3	EmbeddedProject1

Error	2	error MSB3073: The command ""C:Program Files (x86)SysprogsVisualGDBVisualGDB.exe" /build "A:Dropboxprogramowanievisual_gdbEmbeddedProject1EmbeddedProject1EmbeddedProject1.vcxproj" "/solution:A:Dropboxprogramowanievisual_gdbEmbeddedProject1EmbeddedProject1.sln" "/config:Debug" "/platform:Win32"" exited with code 1.	C:Program Files (x86)MSBuildMicrosoft.Cppv4.0Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets	38	6	EmbeddedProject1

Could you please also aid me with this?

Hi,

That is a difference between c and c++, and a bug of 4.0. Either rename the file LEDBlink.c to LEDBlink.cpp or move the loop variable declaration before the loop initialization as follows:

int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)

Actually i havent noticed that, why didnt compiler tell me?
Thank you gonna come bqck here after i change it.

Hi,

The error message “error : ‘for’ loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode” tells that in the current mode loop initial declarations are not allowed. The compiler sets the compilation mode based on the file endings.
