Import projects/bsp's

[freeck]

Is it possible to import projects and/or bsp’s from  Arduino-ide or Eclipse-ide projects into VisualGdb?

If so, what is the procedure to do so?

Hi,

You can try following our tutorial on importing projects from CooCox IDE: http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/arm/coocox/

Let us know if that works.

Hi,

Great tutorial. But it seems quite a hassle to do this for every project….I have to try it out yet, so you get an answer.

Prime reason for my question was the ability of VisualGBD to source level debug esp8266 code.

So I wonder: is it possible to sourcelevel-debug with VisualGDB just based on a elf-file produced by an Eclipse or Arduino project?

 

regards

Hi,

The problem with Eclipse is that every version stores the settings a little bit differently, so there is no consistent way of importing them automatically.

We have received a lot of feedback recently about debugging embedded projects built elsewhere and will be extending our Quick Debug feature with Embedded Quick Debug in the next version. Until then the suggested workaround is to import your projects.

That would we great. Whats the expected release date of the next version?

And how to include resources like webpages  html and image files into the project to be flashed at a certain location  of the flash-area?

Hi,

We are currently planning to release the first beta around the end of November – beginning of December.

You can include resources like image files by modifying the Makefile. See this tutorial for an example of including a .png file.

Hi All,

We have added support for Embedded Quick Debug to the v5.1 branch of VisualGDB. You can now quickly debug arbitrary embedded code without creating a project for it.
​You can try a pre-release build here: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.1.0.579.msi

Note that it will upgrade the Quick Debug presets you open to a new format that won’t work with v5.0, so please make a backup of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\VisualGDB\QuickDebugPresets folder before trying it out.
