Upload BOOTLOADER + APPLICATION via JTATG for debugging in AtmelStudio

Using Arduino Microcontrollers
#1

Hi!

I’ve edited a atmel studio project based on: optiboot/optiboot/AtmelStudio at supermaster · majekw/optiboot · GitHub

I’v have made only this changes: contribute fix for hardware UART 1, 2, and 3 by dmjlambert · Pull Request #130 · Optiboot/optiboot · GitHub

Most significant one in “Makefile.extras”:

#
# atmega32u4 for Pro Micro and Leonardo
#
atmega32u4: CHIP = atmega32u4

 atmega32u4: TARGET = atmega32u4
 atmega32u4: MCU_TARGET = atmega32u4
 atmega32u4: CFLAGS += $(COMMON_OPTIONS) -DUART=1
 atmega32u4: AVR_FREQ ?= 16000000L
 atmega32u4: LDSECTIONS  = -Wl,--section-start=.text=0x7e00 -Wl,--section-start=.version=0x7ffe
 atmega32u4: $(MAKE) $(CHIP) LED_DATA_FLASH=1 LED_START_FLASHES=3 LED=B0 BAUD_RATE=57600
 atmega32u4: $(PROGRAM)_atmega32u4.hex
 atmega32u4: $(PROGRAM)_atmega32u4.lst

But when I try to compile with the CommandLine: “atmega32u4”, I obtain this:

------ Build started: Project: xplained328p, Configuration: Debug AVR ------

========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

QUESTION:
I want know how to merge this project with another one where is my application. I know how to merge it. But I think that due to “how makefile is made” I can’t upload directly via JTAG as I’m doing with mi sketch without the bootloader.

All that I want Is compile both, sketch and bootloader and upload those merged to my arduino for debugging via JTAG (using AVR Dragon in Atmel Studio).

#2

I'm pretty clueless with makefiles and know nothing about Atmel Studio but I'll give it a try.

The first thing that jumps out at me is:

daberrrio:

 make: *** No rule to make target 'C:/Program', needed by 'atmega32u4'.  Stop.

This indicates you needed to put that path in quotes.

I've never used Atmel Studio so maybe you're already doing this but if I was running this from the command line it would be something like:

make -f Makefile.extras atmega32u4

The reason for the -f is the makefile with your target doesn't have a standard name. Normally you could just do "make atmega32u4" but if you do that in this case it will try to run the file named "Makefile" which doesn't have the atmega32u4 target.

#3

Just for Giggles, I cloned that github and ran make from Linux (Ubuntu 16.04).

WestfW seems to have made the LED into an option so:

 atmega32u4: $(PROGRAM)_atmega32u4.hex
 atmega32u4: $(PROGRAM)_atmega32u4.lst

Uggh. Makefile language ugliness.
First, make is sensitive to leading spaces in lines, much of the time. Remove those. (I'm not really sure how this interacts with the colons, but...)

Second, the "daughter" make line:

atmega32u4: $(MAKE) $(CHIP) LED_DATA_FLASH=1 LED_START_FLASHES=3 LED=B0 BAUD_RATE=57600

isn't appropriate here, and isn't formatted correctly either. The idea of those is that if you have a board that is different from an existing target chip only in options, then you don't need to duplicate all the chip-level definitions, only recurse with the options you need changed. So "luminet" is just an ATtiny84 with some specific options, and it's rules look like:

luminet: TARGET = $@
luminet: CHIP = attiny84
luminet:
	$(MAKE) $(CHIP) AVR_FREQ=1000000L LED_START_FLASHES=0 BAUD_RATE=9600
	mv $(PROGRAM)_$(CHIP).hex $(PROGRAM)_$(TARGET).hex
	mv $(PROGRAM)_$(CHIP).lst $(PROGRAM)_$(TARGET).lst

Note that the 'recipe' part is on a separate line, which is what makes it "commands" rather than "dependencies." I think this is the main problem with your modified makefile. You've managed to say that "make" is a dependency for the 32u4, rather than part of the rule to build it.
Since this "existing target" doesn't really apply, you should delete the entire line, leaving you with something like:

#
# atmega32u4 for Pro Micro and Leonardo
#
atmega32u4: CHIP = atmega32u4
atmega32u4: TARGET = atmega32u4
atmega32u4: MCU_TARGET = atmega32u4
atmega32u4: CFLAGS += $(COMMON_OPTIONS) -DUART=1
atmega32u4: AVR_FREQ ?= 16000000L
atmega32u4: LDSECTIONS  = -Wl,--section-start=.text=0x7e00 -Wl,--section-start=.version=0x7ffe
atmega32u4: $(PROGRAM)_atmega32u4.hex
atmega32u4: $(PROGRAM)_atmega32u4.lst

Give that a try and let us know if it works.

Other comments:

if I was running this from the command line it would be something like:

make -f Makefile.extras atmega32u4

No, in this case, the main Makefile includes the extra makefiles itself, so you should never have to use "-f"
I hadn't noticed this "style conflict" till now :frowning:

westfw:

Thanks for correcting me on that! I haven't used an optiboot makefile with the various targets split off. That's a very good system!

#7

I should clarify that I cloned from GitHub - dmjlambert/optiboot: Small and Fast Bootloader for Arduino and other Atmel AVR chips

So that is why it worked. The OP linked to that pull request and I followed it up to that repo... cloned and... well Github is a little confusing.

Thanks for going through that @westfw, I am struggling with Makefiles, but they are too useful to be ignored.

So, it seems that I have to declare the LED and the BAUD_RATE values… I’ve attached an image with the errors in Atmel Studio

Thank You!

Your baudrate stuff is OK; you just don't have a shell installed, so you can't run the shell script that pretty-prints baud rate statistics. The error message about baudcheck.tmp.sh can be ignored (and the build did continue...)

The error about LED is because there is no section in pin_defs.h that defines the default value for LED on a 32u4 chip. All of the existing defaults are inside of "#if defined(AVR_ATmega1280)" and similar. The easiest fix is probably to change the line

atmega32u4: CFLAGS += $(COMMON_OPTIONS) -DUART=1

To

atmega32u4: CFLAGS += $(COMMON_OPTIONS) -DUART=1 -DLED=B1

(or whatever pin you wanted.)
(Or you can modify the pin_defs.h file, or as you suggested, set up the recursive make. But that would be more difficult.)

I’ve changed the following line in makefile.extras:

Looks like the compile worked, and generated the .hex file.
I'm not sure why it had troubles with the .LST file - I haven't seen that one before.

It looks like... But I can't find the hex file in any path... EDIT: i found it in "optiboot-supermaster\optiboot\bootloaders\optiboot"

I'll have to investigate more to fix the lst error.

Thank you very much!

Yes! I did it! I fixed like in this post: http://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/windows-81-compilation-error?page=all

Now, I can compile and I can generate both .hex and .lst files.

Another question, I want know how to merge this project with another one where is my application. I know how to merge it. But I think that due to "how makefile is made" I can't upload directly via JTAG as I'm doing with mi sketch without the bootloader.

All that I want Is compile both, sketch and bootloader and upload those merged to my arduino for debugging via JTAG (using AVR Dragon in Atmel Studio).

Probably better start with uploading your application to the bootloader, are you able to do that?

If not then have a look at the Tools->External_Tools, that can be made to work with "avrdude -c arduino ...", but I did not keep notes. I hope your AVR_Dragon is better than the one I got, I fear my USB connector is going to fall off, so I use ArduinoISP mostly.

What do you mean?

Via JTAG using AVR Dragon, in Tools>Device Programming>Memories I can program any hex file that I want. All that I've made and works it's: erasing memory, program the bootloader, and then program the application without erasing memory.

But I want to debug my full program (application + bootloader) step by step. And if I do it of that way, I can't do it. I only know program the application (without de bootloader) and debug it step by step.

Thank you man!

You are trying to do things beyond my understanding, good luck.
