I also noticed that if you change the hardware directories under Arduino Settings and revert these changes it won’t take the new values.

See my post above: Error reading file (C:\Users\gwerderj\Documents\ArduinoData\packages\arduino\hardware\uni_erlangen\1.8.1\boards.txt:0): Invalid line format, should be ‘key=value’

You see the “uni_erlangen” keyword above but it’s not in the actual hardware directories paths anymore.

The new build also doesn’t want to install the missing package (‘arduino:avr’)

Okay so after creating a new project from scratch with the Uno it already has build errors (just created the project).

I’m using your new build 3403.

You forgot to mention that I have to install the Arduino AVR Boards package in the visualgdb package manager window, I thought it would do it himself.

After reloading the project I’m still having build errors:

I did as you said but it just complains about missing the ‘arduino:avr’. It doesn’t download any necessary packages.

Reloading/building the project doesn’t help either.

Try to download the newest version: VisualGDB 5.5 Prev. 1

https://visualgdb.com/download/

I also had that issue with the 5.4 version.

Update: Every Arduino project is now having errors and won’t build because it has build errors. (see screenshot)

Reloading the project doesn’t solve the issue.

I’m using version 5.5 Preview 2 build 3385

1) Open any VisualGDB project you have (Embedded/Arduino etc.)

2)Go under your VisualGDB Packages window

3)If you have installed “Arduino AVR Boards 1.8.1”, remove it

4)Now click on install “Arduino AVR Boards 1.8.1” and quickly click on “Cancel” before the download/installation

5)You will see two error messages. These are not important so you can close them

Now you will see that the progress bar is still being displayed, even if the installation has been cancelled (see attached screenshot). This shouldn’t be active anymore

Sry, no further informations due to clicking on the button to replace the old packages.

You can ignore the attached screenshot.

The new build fixed the problem.

About the VisualGDB build window: It seems like it was an artifact. It never happened to me again.

[MystikReasons]

Thank you, the build counter has been fixed.

[MystikReasons]

I could reproduce this issue on three different devices with two different projects (both STM32 CubeMX imported)

[MystikReasons]

I opened the project via the “opened recently” window from Visual Studio.

There is only one project in the solution and its an Embedded one.

Originally it was created in the CubeMX and then imported over the VisualGDB manager (STM32F411RE).

This issue doesn’t happen on the build 3317 but on the 3327 it does appear (tested first the 3317 and then the 3327).

[MystikReasons]

Good afternoon @sysprogs

Any news regarding STM8?

And what about STM32WB, are you still working on this?

Thank you.
