Using Atmel Studio 6 IDE with Arduino (Uno and Leonardo)
The benefits of the Atmel Studio 6 IDE (if you can get to grips with it) are described in various places so I wont repeat them here. For my
part, I began using it with an AVR Dragon board for programming micrcontrollers directly (i.e. not using the arduino or similar
development boards). I have also started writing some libraries and found the Arduino IDE to be a bit limited. I wanted to be able to use
Atmel Studio to create programs that would also be usable, ideally with no change, on Arduino boards with the Arduino IDE being used.
A further complication is that I have both Uno and Leonardo boards, which have a different processor and so need separate code
compilation.
There are several guides to achieving this kind of thing (Google atmel studio arduino) but most seemed to be rather involved and not
well suited to having boards with different processors. The best I found, which is not at all involved, was by Elco Jacobs. He approached
the task with the kind of strategy I wanted and his account and example code saved me a lot of trial and error. There were a few points
where I wanted to do things a little differently; this post is about the changes and some experiences along the way. It is partly written so I
remember how it works
There are two main parts to getting things to work: compiling the code and uploading to the arduino. Although I do have an AVR Dragon
and could have used in-system programming (ICSP), I wanted to be be able to use the normal process of using the serial upload over USB
and to leave the bootloader intact.
The end point of the following, which is not as complicated as it looks, is that a new Arduino IDE compatible sketch can be
begun by clicking the New Project icon in the tool bar and selecting one of two templates according to the target board.

1 compiling the code


This is the easier part of the two. The approach taken can be broken down into two: configuring Atmel Studio and creating a C++ harness
within which a verbatim Arduino sketch can be executed. Since there are differences between Uno and Leonardo, I created two versions of
the following steps: one for each board.

1a) configuring Atmel Studio


Start off creating a new Executable C++ project and choose the correct microcontroller type (ATmega328P for Uno and ATmega32U4 for
Leonardo).
Open the project properties and select the toolchain set of properties. Under AVR/GNU C++ Compiler you should see several groups
of properties.

Directories
Add two entries to locate the source files for the Arduino core and be sure to un-check the relative path option. These are to be found
wherever you installed the Arduino IDE. For me, and for the Uno, they are:
C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino
C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\variants\standard
The second of these would have leonardo instead of standard for the Leonardo board.
If you use any of the Arduno libraries, you must add additional entries to Directories for each one: e.g. C:\Program Files\Arduino
\libraries\EEPROM

Optimisation
Set the compiler to optimise for size and check the -ffunction-sections option.
In addition, under AVR/GNU Linker, set the optimisation to garbage collect unused sections.

Symbols
Add two entries (these are applicable for Uno and Leonardo; the first denotes Arduno 1.0 libraries and the second denotes a 16MHz
clock):
ARDUINO=100
F_CPU=16000000L

1b) the sketch harness


Two C++ files are used. One will contain the sketch and one contains a few lines of code to hook in the Arduino core libraries and the
main program from which the usual setup() and loop() components of a sketch are called. I named these sketch.cpp and main.cpp
respectively.
This arrangement means that if you want to compile the same sketch with different Arduino boards as the target you can use exactly the
same sketch.cpp in two different Atmel Studio projects. The neatest approach would be to point both projects at the same file, rather than
copying it, of course!

sketch.cpp
If you already have an arduino sketch (.ino or .pde) then the content of it may just be copied and renamed sketch.cpp.
There are, however, two small extras that may be required at the top of the sketch:

1. if there are any functions other than void setup() and void loop() then it is necessary to add a function prototype. This means that if
there is a function void serialMessage() then you must add void serialMessage(); at the head of sketch.cpp in addition to the
function itself. Google arduino function prototype to find out more.
2. if a library such as EEPROM is used then it may be necessary to change the #include to point to the .cpp file rather than the .h file.
If EEPROM.h does NOT contain a #include <EEPROM.cpp> then you need to point to EEPROM.cpp from the sketch otherwise
the compiler will not find the definition of EEPROM. Wire and SD libraries are even more tedious in that there are 1 or more
additional files to include check the error messages, add the #include and if necessary also add a new directory in the C++
Compiler options.
Keep these extras together and above the body of the sketch with an appropriate comment line if you intend to share the code (or just
want to be neat, keep sane).
As an alternative to adding prototypes manually, it is possible to compile and upload in the Arduino IDE and then to grab the C++ code
that the IDE creates during its compile process. To find where this is, go to File|Preferences and set the Arduino IDE to Show verbose
output during: [x] compilation. This will cause the temporary directory containing the C++, all compiled intermediates and the .hex file
used by the uploader to be revealed. The .cpp should be the same as the sketch but with a few extra lines near the top of the listing.
Replace the template sketch.cpp with this.

main.cpp
This is really just a combination of two of Elco Jacobs files with a few edits. Since things are a little different for Uno and Leonardo, the
main.cpp file differs between the two versions. Remember that the end point is a separate template for each board so two versions are
created rather than having to comment out or uncomment code blocks according to the board in use.
NB: You may have to uncomment or add one or mode .cpp or .h files from the Arduino core libraries. See the "//Unused source
files" but also be aware there may be some not listed in that section.

Try it!
Given the above, it should be possible to cut and paste the blink sketch into sketch.cpp and compile using F7 or the Build menu.

2 uploading
Uploading can be a bit of a pig. The smooth way the Arduino IDE works is, for me, its main redeeming feature. There are several options
and I began by using the rather nice MegunoLink tool (which may be downloaded for free and a donation made). MegunoLink allows you
to locate the .hex file that is created after compilation and to upload it with ease. It uses avrdude behind the scenes, just as the Arduino
IDE does. MegunoLink also includes a rather nice plotting feature, where you can send formatted data over Serial and plot it in real time.
Nice! The MegunoLink site also gives an alternative recipe for using AtmelStudio alongside MegunoLink.
For better integration of avrdude with Atmel Studio, you have to do a bit of fiddling. A lot more fiddling was required to get a usable
approach for the Leonardo. The end point is upload over the normal USB connection by the click of a mouse or keyboard shortcut inside
Atmel Studio.

Setting up for Uno


Tools > External Tools
Add a new tool, give it a title like Uno Serial Upload and set it up something like this (you may need to change the file paths to match
where you installed the Arduino IDE to and you may need to change COM3):
Command = C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe
Arguments = -C"C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf" -patmega328p -carduino -P\\.\COM3 -b115200
-Uflash:w:"$(ProjectDir)Debug\$(ItemFileName).hex":i
I also checked the Use Output window option, which causes the avrdude messages to appear where compiler messages usually
do.

A new external tool should be accessible from the Tools menu on saving this data. In use it is essential to first select (click on) the project
in the Project Explorer window. This is so that the $(ItemFilenName) is correct. If you have sketch.cpp selected then Atmel Studio tries to
invoke avrdude to upload sketch.hex, which does not exist.

Setting up for Leonardo


It would have been nice if the same recipe as for the Uno could be followed, with a simple change to the -p and -c flags in the arguments
list. Sadly, the Leonardo needs to be given a kick before it is ready to receive avrdude. This is pretty ugly design IMO. The kick is given
by making a connection at 1200 Baud, waiting a while for the Leonardo to run its bootloader and get ready and only then trying to use
avrdude. The COM port usually changes after the kick and changes back when avrdude finishes. Usually! Yes, usually: sometimes I
found it didnt change back after running avrdude if there was an error condition. You can watch this happening in the Device Manager or
upload a sketch in the Arduino IDE with verbose output enabled (go to Preferences to enable verbose output) to see the alternative COM
port.
The easiest option was to adapt Elco Jacobs Python code, which is what the following code shows. Alternatively, you could just follow
Elcos approach but NB that I had problems due to space characters in the path to my Arduino IDE directory (i.e. Program Files).
Serial Uploader.py
1 import sys
2 import subprocess as sub
3 from time import sleep
4
5 # command line arguments are:
6 # first is the arduino IDE installation dir
7 # second is the arduino board type
8 # third is the .hex file
9 # fourth is the upload port
10 # fifth *** only used if Leonardo; omit otherwise *** serial port used to put leonardo into bootloader mode
11
12 arduinoPath = sys.argv[1]
13 boardType = sys.argv[2]
14 hexFile = sys.argv[3]
15 port2 = sys.argv[4]
16
17 if(boardType == 'leonardo'):
import serial
18
port = sys.argv[len(sys.argv)-1]
19
20
21 avrconf = arduinoPath + '/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf'
22 avrdude = arduinoPath + '/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude'
23 avrsize = arduinoPath + '/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avr-size'
24
25 boardsFile = open(arduinoPath + '/hardware/arduino/boards.txt',
'rb').readlines()
26
27
28 boardSettings = {}
29
30 for line in boardsFile:
if(line.startswith(boardType)):
31
# strip board name, period and \n
32
setting = line.replace(boardType + '.', '', 1).strip()
33
[key, sign, val] = setting.rpartition('=')
34
boardSettings[key] = val
35
36
# check program size against maximum size
37
38 p = sub.Popen([avrsize,hexFile], stdout=sub.PIPE, stderr=sub.PIPE)#, shell=True)
39 output, errors = p.communicate()
40 if errors != "":
print 'avr-size error: ' + errors + '\n'
41
exit
42
43
print ('Progam size: ' + output.split()[7] +
44
' bytes out of max ' + boardSettings['upload.maximum_size'] + '\n')
45
46
47 programCommand = [avrdude,
'-C'+avrconf,
48
'-F' ,
49
'-p'+boardSettings['build.mcu'] ,
50
'-c'+ boardSettings['upload.protocol'] ,
51
'-b' + boardSettings['upload.speed'] ,
52
'-P'+port2,
53
'-Uflash:w:'+hexFile+':i']
54
55
# open and close serial port at 1200 baud. This resets the Arduino Leonardo
56
57 if(boardType == 'leonardo'):
ser = serial.Serial(port, 1200)
58
ser.close()
59
sleep(4) # give the bootloader time to start up
60
61
62 p = sub.Popen(programCommand, stdout=sub.PIPE, stderr=sub.PIPE)#, shell=True)
63 output, errors = p.communicate()
64 # avrdude only uses stderr, append it
65 print errors

The idea is to call this bit of python code as an External Tool, similar to the way avrdude was called in the Uno example. You will need to
install Python and pySerial. You may also need to change the PATH to include the directory into which Python was installed. I put the
Serial Uploader.py in the Atmel Studio solutions directory.
This time set up the external tool like this:
Command = python.exe
Arguments = C:\Documents and Settings\Adam\My Documents\Atmel Studio\Serial Uploader.py C:\Program Files\Arduino

leonardo $(ProjectDir)Debug\$(ItemFileName).hex COM6 COM7


I also checked the Use Output window option, which causes the avrdude or python messages to appear where compiler messages
usually do.
The final argument, COM7 in my case, is the one the Leonardo is attached to when you plug it in. i.e. the COM port you would use in
the Arduino IDE. COM6 is the one that is switched to after the kick. You will find that there is quite a lot of delay when using this
script see the sleep(4) command so do not panic if nothing appears to happen at first.
Obviously, the same python code could also have been used for the Uno case but having already got that one working, I left it alone.

Configuring toolbar and keyboard shortcuts


I dont like stumbling through menus. Use Tools > Customise then select the Commands tab and follow your nose to add a toolbar button
or keyboard shortcut for the External Tool x.

3 a nice-to-have creating project templates


Atmel Studio allows you to create template projects, which you can select when creating a new project. The template includes all of the
compiler options, the processor type and the C++ files. I created a template for each of Uno and Leonardo. And if you just want to grab the
templates (bearing in mind they contain the paths to my Arduino installation): Arduino Uno Arduino Leonardo (copy these into Atmel
Studio\Templates\ProjectTemplates or use File|Import menu). Ive also done a similar job for a library template but with some Visual
Studio placeholders (Atmel Studio is basically Microsoft Visual Studio under a bit of customisation), but only for Uno: Uno Library
Template. The library does not, of course, use the main/sketch convention. Note that, for a reason I cannot fathom, the compiler
optimisation setting (-Os) is not correct when a template is used. It looks OK in the template project file but something goes wrong when
creating a project from the template.
Once you have parts 1 and 2 completed and working (e.g. using the blink example), all you have to do to create a template is File >
Export Template and follow your nose
My templates have no libraries to keep things minimal by default . Hence, when I create a project using a template, any libraries will need
entries in Directories as in step 1a {edit: it might have been better to include them all and to delete lines when not needed}.

4 a recommended Atmel Studio Extension


There is an extension for Atmel Studio that essentially does the same as the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor. It is called Terminal Window
and it can be installed using Tools > Extension Manager. This is not a command window, in spite of what the icon appears to show.
Once installed, the terminal window can be started from the View menu. I chose to dock mine to the bottom of the Atmel Studio window,
which causes it to become a tab alongside the compiler output and errors/warnings tabs.

Great work Adam. I will merge your additions into my code if you are OK with that.
I will also make switching between UNO and Leonardo automatic, by checking if USBCON is defined.
Did you fork it on GitHub?

Hey this is a pretty good walkthrough, Im struggling with step 1b I think. I am struggling to see how to fit the sketch harness into
the main program. I tried building the main program (using leonardo) but get undefined reference to setup/loop error. Is there
perhaps an example of how you include sketch.cpp or you could possibly give a bit more guidance at these steps. Thank you

@Pete
OK Ill have a go tho its always hard to diagnose problems remotely and I might have got the wrong end of the stick!
To add sketch.cpp (or any number of supplementary files, for that matter) you can use the menu: Project | Add New Item . Then
choose CPP file and give it a name. You can also get the same result other ways.
You should also be able to just paste the same sketch code into the end of main.cpp instead of having a separate sketch.cpp
(remembering the notes about function prototypes).

Only had Arduino a few days and hate its IDE. Ive programmed in other languages and miss their editors. The python script is just
used for uploading? You can still program with regular example code of Arduino? (other than the function prototype) I was using a
sikuli library in java and would want to continue to use it here. Should be no problem? And also what about Processing? Can this be
done for that as well? I really cant see how people like these editors lol.

Yes, the python is just for uploading. There are other approaches you can use to upload too: have a look at Megunolink. Yes, regular
arduino code will work so long as you add the function prototypes and make sure the libraries are referenced. This is dependent on
the compiler and linker rather than the IDE per se. As for the rest, I have no idea

Excellent guide, thank you for posting.
I have the Arduino Micro.
Arduino IDE allows the upload of Blink program example to test functionality. I manipulated the time delays to the LED, while
observing on the scope. So the hardware and software is working correctly thru uploading.
I followed the setup and successfully compiled Blink in Studio 6.1 all files generated no errors. When I run the AVRDude tool in
6.1 I get the following error:

Chris Im a bit hazy about the workings of avrdude; I follow standard recipes.
In your case, it looks like the baud rate might be wrong. I think you should be using 115200 baud. See the section Setting up for
Uno on my post.
I think when you upload from the Arduino IDE it picks this up from a boards.txt (somewhere inside C:\Program Files\Arduino)
otherwise getting default values from C:\avrdude.conf if it exists.
Sometimes Windows messes up COM ports. Try a reboot, check port assignments etc if the above does not get you there.

Hmmm
well, one thing I failed to notice at first was that you are not using an Uno, so my comments on baud rate were wrong.
Maybe try to run avrdude from a command line (DOS Window) and see if that works.
This looks a bit odd: CANNOT Find output file C:\Users\C\Documents\Atmel Studio\6.1\P1BLINKAM2\P1BLINKAM2
\scripts\output.txt Aborting script
It might be a symptom of anti-virus software getting in the way. Ive certainly had problems with compilation due to my AV. Try
disabling it and see if things improve.

Hi, Do you add the sketch.cpp to your project ? It tells me that OUTPUT is not declared in this scope.
Can you show me an example of your File explorer ? (picture)
Thanks a lot !
