    Hi, i’m new to Visual GDB and trying to figure out how it works.  It seems I can build an embedded project fine with the platform set to Win32, or x64, or VisualGDB (though the actual target in this case is a Maxim processor).   What does selecting the VisualGDB option in this list do?   If there’s an article on it that would be great but I can’t find one.  Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    Sorry for the confusion. The ‘VisualGDB’ platform corresponds to the new MSBuild backend introduced in v5.2. The regular ‘Win32’ platform corresponds to the old-style projects that use GNU Make or CMake.

    Since v5.2, we recommend using the new MSBuild backend (‘VisualGDB’ platform) for all new projects, so normally the old ‘Win32’ platform should not appear for the VisualGDB projects. If it does despite selecting MSBuild, please let us know the steps to reproduce it and we will fix it.
