Hi,

has anyone tried to use Atmel Studio with ESP instead of Arduino IDE? With Visual Micro, it displays ESP in boards lists, just like in Arduino IDE, but when I try to compile, I get output like this:

Code: Select all

Error compiling

Any ideas how to fix it? Visual Micro debugger is turned off in project properties.

For anyone interested, I have just found a solution:

In file platforms.txt in your esp8266 folder in Arduino hardware add following 2 lines just after version line:

Code: Select all

runtime.hardware.path=C:\Path to Arduino\Arduino\hardware\esp8266com
runtime.os=windows

For some reason these two variables that should be passed from IDE are not set correctly in AS. When you add them manually like that, everything works like a charm

Thanks for the tip, but I couldn't find any "platforms.txt" file, so I assumed you mean "platform.txt", which is under "hardware\esp8266com\esp8266\".
However, esptool doesn't show up in the programmers list... Any hint?

You probably already know it by now, but don't worry about programmer. It doesn't have to show up. Just select "generic ESP8266 board" from boards menu in Atmel Studio, and you are ready to go.
