Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. We have found and resolved the NullReferenceException issue. The fix will be available in the next maintenance release (r4). Let us know if you want an earlier build.
Regarding the ‘clean’ problem you can go to Visual Studio Project Properties (not VisualGDB Project Properties), General page and clear the “Build log file” field or relocate it outside of the ‘Debug’ directory. Then it won’t interfere with the clean command.Hi,
This looks like it may be related to the environment block size limit. The older versions of Windows had it limited to 32K and some programs may still have it hardcoded. Try cleaning up some unused environment variables and see if that solves the problem.
Hi,
The latest release of VisualGDB stores relative paths in the MCU XML file. Simply change the path to devicesstm32f407xx.xml if you have created your project using an older version.
You can browse all VisualGDB-related settings via Tools->Options->VisualGDB.Hi,
The include/library directory settings do not support any variables. They do support relative paths, however.
If you want to reference a VisualGDB library project, simply add it to the build dependencies of your main project and VisualGDB will figure out the path to the binary automatically.
We don’t support multiple targets per project as it would make some things overcompilcated (e.g. project references or mapping of source files to targets) and it’s not supported by normal Visual Studio projects. You can instead use one of the following workarounds:
1. Create several VisualGDB projects in different directories
2. Manually edit the makefiles to add more targets (you will then have to manually track which sources belong to which targets)
3. Create several VisualGDB projects in the same directory and override the Makefile name for them (e.g. Makefile2 instead of Makefile).Hi,
Sorry, we are still investigating the NullReferenceException issue. We should be able to provide an update by the end of this week.
Hi,
Does that happen with a stock version of make.exe that comes with MinGW, or are you using some custom make executable?
VisualGDB reuses the Visual Studio IntelliSense engine (it configures it by providing GCC-specific definitions and include paths). Sometimes, the Visual Studio IntelliSense engine produces strange results. We are currently working on a new engine that will handle the GCC-specific code natively. As a temporary workaround before we have released it you can try commenting out arbitrary include directives to see which of them breaks IntelliSense.
If properly configured, the VPN sever will give you an IP address inside the intranet, the software on the client side will route requests to 192.168.0.2 via the VPN transport and the VPN server will in turn forward them to your FTP server. Typically, the manual for the VPN client/server software should contain plenty of configuration examples that can provide further clues.
Currently this is not possible, however if you go to the GDB Session window, select the text input and press the ‘up’ button, it will show the last entered command. Hence, you will just need to press ‘
‘ each time you want to execute it. Hi,
We have not specifically tested it over WiFi, however if you can get it to work to the point where you can ping your Raspberry Pi from your PC, VisualGDB should be able to target it without any problems. Let us know if you encounter any difficulties.
Hi,
The easiest thing to start with would be adding the msys binary directory to PATH when building your makefile (this can be changed on the Build Settings page in VisualGDB Project Properties). That may still require some additional tweaking, e.g. if your Makefile expects the output of ‘pwd’ to have a /cygdrive syntax.
Hi,
You cannot disable the auto-updating of LDFLAGS in stm32.mak, but you can override them directly in Makefile after the “include $(ADDITIONAL_MAKE_FILES)” line.
