Hi all, I am trying to debug a custom board with an Atmega2560 MCU, but I am stuck in Astudio7 using the serial port.

I thought to set anything, but when I click on "start debugging and break", the following message appear and no breakpoint is hit:

 

"

User Experience: The serial debugger was delayed waiting for an incoming line of data. If the Serial.print() command is used between breakpoints, then ensure that a line termnator is sent using .println() or .print("\r\n"). Optionally, use #if defined(VM_DEBUG) to add code that is only active when debugging. (if this is expected then switch this user experience message off in tools>options>visual micro>micro debug)

"

 

I cant understand what's my mistake, I tried to use a different port also.

You can have a look of the attached screenshot..

 

Thanks a lot

Marco

It's in the message you posted:

 

 If the Serial.print() command is used between breakpoints, then ensure that a line terminator is sent using .println() or .print("\r\n").

 

Have you done that?

  2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
  3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected

You do know you can get a real debugger for 2560 for $15? Not much point in messing with nonsense like Visual Micro when you can get Snap from Microchip.

Also note that Visual Micro is an independent 3rd party - nothing to do with Atmel / Microchip.

 

For specific questions about Visual Micro, you'd probably be best on their forum:  https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/
