I have my projects which were build on Atmel Studio 6.2 but when i open those files in Atmel Studio 7 it asks for upgrade (Recommended). Doing so my program seems to exhibits some unusual behaviours and malfunctions. Does anyone has such experience ?

 

What should i do ? Please suggest. Should i go back to Atmel Studio 6.2 ?? Why such things are happening.

What "things"? Be specific. We can't say much given the superficial information you've given.

 

One general observation: If the upgrade to AS7 meant it installed a newer version of the compiler it might be that bugs/discrepancies in your code that was not exposed before are so now. E.g. harder optimization might expose a lacking 'volatile' on an ISR/main shared variable.

As of January 15, 2018, Site fix-up work has begun! Now do your part and report any bugs or deficiencies here. 

No guarantees, but if we don't report problems they won't get much of  a chance to be fixed! Details/discussions at link given just above.

Logic Execution was stopped and Some Volatile non initialized Variable show strange values. I have no observed such things before in AS6.2, you might be right Regarding new optimization with compiler... 

 

is it possible to use old AVR GCC Compiler with new AS7 ?

Show an example of that. Are you talking about volatile global or volatile automatic?

When I said "be specific" I meant something like:

 

- Show code

- State expected behavior

- State observed behavior in AS6

- State observed behavior in AS7

Yes. You can set up additional toochain (that exist on your system) in Atmel Studio: 

Tools menu, Options..

In the dialog, select Toolchain

At the right, press Add flavour

Set a name, and browse to the tool chains "bin" folder

 

You now have a new toolchain flavour that you can select to use in a specific project (project Options, and then Advanced. Select flavour in drop-down.

I've edited your post. Make another one like that and your account here won't last much beyond your one post.

(and you are quite wrong anyway, AS7 is actually really good these days)
