Hello All,
I 'upgraded' to Microchip Studio, add the device packs, and can see the AVR128DAxx devices as selections for projects. I connected the Curiosity Nano to my computer and the drivers appeared to install. On the Nano, I see two LEDs lit and Windows reported successful installation.
Try as I might, I cannot get the Curiosity Nano to be recognized as a tool in Studio. I have restarted Studio and restarted the computer, to no avail.
It shouldn't be this difficult.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Where are you looking for it?

Hello Morten, thank you for responding.
I looked in my AVR128DA48 test project properties window, where it shows 'AVR128DA48' in the device tab, but under the tool tab there is only 'custom programming tool'. I also looked under device programming, where it said 'no tools available'.
Well, well, it's even WORSE than I could have imagined. Previous projects now have no available tools, even though I have a JTAGICE3 connected, and which worked just fine yesterday.
I am feeling that I should have left well enough alone, and not 'upgraded' the Atmel Studio 7.0 tool nor attempted to use the Curiosity Nano.
Shit.

IIRC, the most recent Atmel Studio clean :
Atmel Studio 7.0 new install on Windows 10 2004 - not starting | AVR Freaks
Upgraded Studio....Buyers remorse, and some questions | AVR Freaks
In Device Manager, under the Microchip Tools entry, I see Curiosity Data Gateway, EDBG Data Gateway, and JTAGICE3 Gateway. All are indicated as working properly.
Sigh.
I did a complete uninstall and fresh installation of Microchip Studio. When I plugged in the tools, they showed up in the tools window. Success!!!
Well, not so fast. I loaded a solution that had worked previously, attempted to start debugging, and I received the message 'backend process not running (tools not available)'. Sure enough, the tools had disappeared again.
I started a support ticket with Microchip, but I'd love to hear the solution a bit faster. I am falling behind in my deliverables.
Thanks

If the backend process stops/crashes then you will have no available tools. A quick check is to see if the simulator is in the list of Available Tools. If it's not, then backend is not running. Then you/somebody should take a look in %appdata%\Atmel\AtmelStudio\7.0\ApplicationStatus.log and see if it's possible to figure out why it stopped.
The issue has been resolved with the assistance of Microchip technical support. Indeed, there were problems with the backend process.
The solution was to do a deep uninstall, using Revo Uninstaller Pro. It removed all instances of Atmel drivers, registry keys, etc., leaving the machine free of any remnants. Next, I performed a clean reinstall of Microchip Studio.
Things appear to be working again. It just took a couple of days . . . but my Microchip support agent was excellent.
[EDIT: Part of the solution was to replace the DGILIB.DLL file with the one that Microchip sent me.]
Well done!

Atmel/Microchip Studio clean from most recent to earlier :
Well, well, not so fast.
Things seemed to be working fine, using the JTAGICE3 with a couple of custom ATxmega32E5 targets, but then I got greedy. I connected the Curiosity Nano so I could attempt to continue my experiment with the AVR128DA48. This broke the tool selection options, so once again, no tools appear in the list. I restarted Microchip Studio, disconnected and reconnected the tools, rebooted the system - no joy.
Another support ticket with Microchip has been started.
Crap. I just want this stuff to WORK.
Why should it be different for you?
