2. FAQ1. What is the Atmel USB Driver?

The Atmel USB Driver is a cumulative installer that bundles the Jungo USB driver for the AVR tools and theSegger USB Driver for SAM tools.

2. I get an error during installation of the Atmel USB Driver Package

During installation of the Atmel USB Driver Package, you might get the error 0x800b010a - A certificatechain could not be built to a trusted root authority. This means that the certificate that signs the installercould not be validated using the certificate authority built in to Windows.

The reason for not being able to validate the certificate is because the certificate chain needs to beupdated through Windows Update. Make sure that you have received all updates, so that Windows is ableto validate the certificate.

If you are not able to update your computer due to the computer being offline or restricted in some way,then the root certificate update can be downloaded from http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/931125.

3. Will Atmel Studio 6.2 work in parallel with Atmel Studio 6.1, Atmel Studio 6.0, AVR Studio 5.0, 5.1,AVR Studio 4.0 and AVR32 Studio?

Yes, it will work. If you are uninstalling AVR Studio 4.0 or AVR32 Studio be careful when you manuallydelete folders or registry entries after uninstall, as there might be other keys and folders deployed by AtmelStudio inside the Atmel folder and registry paths.

4. I have AVR Studio 4 in my PC. When installing Atmel Studio it updated the Jungo USB driver. WillAVR Studio 4 still work?

Yes, it will work. If Jungo driver is already present and its version is anything less than the new one, thenthe installer will update the Jungo driver you already have. The updated Jungo driver is fully compatiblewith its previous versions.

5. During installation the installer hangs more than 20 minutes while displaying: “Atmel Studiorequires the following items to be installed on your computer." A progress bar is running but thereis no indication about real progress.

If you have network connectivity that is limited (no internet connectivity), disconnect the network or disableall the active network adapters and start installation of Atmel Studio. This happens only on Windows XPand Windows 2003 based machines.

6. The Atmel Studio installer crashes when installing using the run as option in Windows XP (anyarchitecture) with the Protect my computer... option enabled..

Do not use the run as option with the Protect my computer... option enabled. The installer will haveread-only access to parts of the registry and system folders, causing it to malfunction. This is due tothe DEP option enabled by Windows in this mode. Refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/09/10/227727.aspx for more information.

7. Atmel Studio and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 conflicts.

If Atmel Studio is installed on a machine with Visual Studio 2010 SP1, the following message might bedisplayed when starting up Atmel Studio or Visual Studio: "Only some of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010products on this computer have been upgraded to Service Pack 1. None will work correctly until all havebeen upgraded".

Follow the instructions in the error message dialog to resolve the problem.

8. Atmel Studio cannot find any debuggers or programmers after uninstalling AVR Studio 4.

The AVR Studio 4 installer uninstalls the Jungo USB Driver which is shared by Atmel Studio. Repairing theAtmel Studio installation might not reinstall Jungo USB Driver. Download the Atmel USB Driver installerfrom the Atmel web and install it.

9. Atmel Studio cannot find any debuggers or programmers when Norton AntiVirus is running.

Atmel Studio might not show any connected tools if Norton AntiVirus is running. To make it work makesure Norton AntiVirus allows atprogram.exe to communicate with the Atmel Studio front-end by addingatbackend.exe as an exception in the Norton AntiVirus allowed programs. This is the same with anyanti-virus program that by default blocks ports.

10. Windows shows a message box with the following message when attempting to run Atmel Studioinstaller: " Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have theappropriate permissions to access the item. "This might be caused by an anti-virus program blocking the installation of the Atmel Studio. We have seenthis with the Sophos antivirus package. Temporarily disable the Sophos service running on the machine (orany corresponding anti-virus service), and attempt installation.

11. After installing and starting Atmel Studio in Windows XP, the following error is displayed. "Thisapplication has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Re-installing the applicationmay fix this problem."This probably means that your PC does not have Service Pack 3 for Windows XP installed. Install SP3 andthen install Atmel Studio again.

12. Atmel Studio takes a very long time to start, but runs well in a VM environment.The Visual Studio shell (and thus Atmel Studio) does a considerable amount of processing during start-up. Parts of the operations are WPF operations which benefits greatly by updated graphics libraries anddrivers. Installing the latest graphics driver may give a performance boost both during normal operationand during start-up.

13. Verification and programming often fails with a serial port buffer overrun error message whenusing STK500.This is a known issue. Due to DPC latency, serial communication can have buffer overruns on the UARTchipset. A workaround which works for most systems is to use an USB to serial adapter.

14. Internet Explorer 6 does not display user documentation correctly.This is a known issue, primarily due to the incompatibility of the version of HTML used to prepare the helpcontent and the IE6 rendering engine. Update your browser to a later version of IE to resolve the issue.This problem is only observed with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

15. Help Registration fails with error code 401.One of the common reasons for this failure is because of an corrupted Help Store location. The helpstore location is usually %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\HelpLibrary for Vista or latermachines and it is %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Datafor Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 based machines. Clean up this location and try running theinstaller again.

16. When launching from a guest account, the following error is displayed when starting Atmel Studio:"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".Atmel Studio neither installs under guest account and nor runs under it.

17. Can install and run Atmel Studio from within a Virtual Machine.Yes, with simulator there should be no issues. However with physical devices like debuggers andprogrammers, the VM must offer support for physical USB and Serial port connections.

18. How can I reduce the startup time of Atmel Studio?

● Make sure you have uninstalled unwanted extensions in studio.

● Disable Allow Add-in components to load.

1. Go to Tools → Options → Add-in/Macro Security

2. Then uncheck the Allow Add-in components to load option

● Disable the startup page (alternative 1)

1. Disable Show page on Startup inside the start page.

● Disable the startup page (alternative 2)

1. Go to Tools → Options → Environment → Startup → At Startup.

2. Select Show empty environment option.

19. How to improve studio performance on Windows XP or single core systems?

● Make sure your system has the latest version of the Windows Automation API

● Disable Visual Experience, if you have single core system

1. Go to Tools → Options → Environment → General.

2. Then uncheck the Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance, Enable richclient visual experience and Use H/W graphics acceleration options.

● Disable the Editor Track Changes

1. Go to Tools → Options → Text Editor.

2. Then uncheck the Track Changes option

● Disable the Track Active Item in Solution Explorer

1. Go to Tools → Options → Projects and Solutions → General.

2. Then uncheck the Track Active Item in Solution Explorer option.

20. How to improve studio performance for any supported version of Windows?

● Make sure your system has the latest version of the Windows Automation API

● Exclude the following directories and files from antivirus scanner:● Atmel Studio Installed directory and its sub directories and files● %AppData%\Roaming\Atmel directory and its sub directories, files● %AppData%\Local\Atmel directory and its sub directories, files● Your Atmel project directories

● Visual Studio 10 shell requires a lot of swap space. Increase the paging file. Also put the system tomaximize performance. Both options are found in System → Properties → Performance → Settingsmenu.

21. Should I install the latest Windows Automation API 3.0?Yes, if your OS is any of the following:● Windows XP● Vista● Server 2003● Server 2008

22. How can I make sure my system has the latest Windows Automation API 3.0?Your system has the latest Windows Automation API if you have Windows 7 or Windows 8. OnlyWindows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 have the old versionAPI. Find the UIAutomationCore.dll file in your system (normally found in the windows folder) andcompare the version number of that file. The version should be 7.X.X.X. for the new API. The latest APIcan be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971513.

23. My Project is large and it takes a long time to open. Is there any option to avoid this delay?Visual Assist X parses all the files when we opening the existing project. You could disable this option:

1. Go to VAssistX → Visual Assist X Options → Performance.

2. Uncheck the Parse all files when opening the project.

24. I have the limited RAM size in my system and I work long hours in the same instance of AtmelStudio. After some time, Atmel Studio becomes slow on my system.Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F12 twice to force Atmel Studio to garbage collect.

25. Does Atmel Studio perform better on multi-core processors than on single-core systems?Yes, Atmel Studio performs better on a multi-core system.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971513

5. Bugs and New Features

5.1 Notable bugs fixed

Issue #AVRSV-5685:The first flash page can be corrupted by re-connecting with a SAM-ICE after a programming session. Problemis seen in relation to reading the CoreSight ROM table, which is done during the connect sequence.

Issue #AVRSV-5893:Debugging and stepping in code can lead to interrupts being disabled.

Issue #AVRSV-5920:Support links in Atmel Studio points to the old support site.

Issue #AVRSV-5923:Error message pops up during programming using JTAGICEmkII, saying that the device id is wrong. Thisis due to an error during the programming session, which caused Atmel Studio to start a new programmingsession inside the already ongoing session.

Issue #AVRSV-6015:Compile time in Atmel Studio is many times greater then building directly from the command line. This hasbeen traced to a issue in how Atmel Studio parses warning information and presents it to the user.

Issue #AVRSV-6016:Locking region may fail in few scenarios. If it fails import the user page fuse settings from a file throughmemories page in "Device programming" dialog

Issue #AVRSV-6020:Programming files that have non-ascii charaters in the path fails. This is now fixed by doing a UTF-8 to UTF-16conversion if the path is not found.

5.2 Known issues

Issue #AVRSV-283:A message saying "webproperties.tlb could not be located" can be displayed on some systems. A workaroundfor this problem is to make a copy of a file named "webproperties???.tlb" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\CommonFiles\microsoft shared\MSEnv" (on the same location) and rename it to "webproperties.tlb".

Issue #AVRSV-414:Power toggle and external reset is not handled gracefully in all situations.

Issue #AVRSV-546:The .NET Framework installer might not work properly if network connectivity is limited. If connectivity is limiteddisconnect from the network or disable all active network adapters before starting installation of Atmel Studio.

Issue #AVRSV-628:Scrolling memory view does not work properly.It is not possible to use the slider in the memory view to scroll it. Only the up and down arrows works.

Issue #AVRSV-680:Sometimes breakpoints that are set in the Source Editor are not reflected correctly in the Disassembly Windowwhile debugging.

Issue #AVRSV-831:Atmel Studio installation may fail on XP systems if the Microsoft Windows Imaging Component (32-bit) is notinstalled. Install this component, downloadable from Microsoft.

Issue #AVRSV-966:Running the Atmel Studio installer using the "run as" option on Windows XP may crash the installer.


14

Issue #AVRSV-1192:Internet Explorer 6 will not render the navigation menu in the user documentation correctly.

Issue #AVRSV-1254:The asf.h header file is not included in all examples.

Workaround: Include this file manually if you add additional drivers using the"Select Drivers from AVR Software Framework" dialog.

Issue #AVRSV-1436:If a command times out during execution on a tool, then the next command can fail with a 'Command Error'.This is due to desynchronization between the software and hardware, and is fixed by power cycling the tool.

Issue #AVRSV-1533:Visual Studio 2010 RC/Beta version has conflict with RTM version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 IsolatedShell. The workaround is to uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 isolated Shell that is installed with AtmelStudio.

Issue #AVRSV-1557:Mapped network drives do not appear in the Project Location window when creating a new project.

Issue #AVRSV-1603:When debugging on ATmega16[A] or ATmega32[A] devices it is not possible to read out the value of UBRRHusing the debugger.

Issue #AVRSV-1675:If a driver for a tool has not been installed (first time it's plugged in) and the user plugs the tool into the PCwhen Atmel Studio is running then it will be shown in the "Available Tools" view but not have access to the toolas a OS driver for the tool does not exist. Any operation on the tool initiated will fail.

Restart Atmel Studio to access the tool.

Issue #AVRSV-1733:Stepping in the source view over a software reset may leave the target running on ATxmega devices.

Issue #AVRSV-1758:Projects which include paths or files with non-Latin characters are not supported.

Issue #AVRSV-1760:Service Pack 1 of Visual Studio 2010 installed on a PC where Atmel Studio 6 is installed, may initiate a needfor reapplying the SP1 installer. A dialog box will then appear during startup of Atmel Studio, and detail thesteps that must be taken.

Issue #AVRSV-1883:The IO window does not fully support registers like e.g. DIRSET, DIRTGL, and DIRCLR for the XMEGA family(used to manipulate a corresponding DIR register). Toggling the value of bits in these registers have undefinedresult on DIR.

Issue #AVRSV-1888:Debugging ATmega128 in ATmega103 compatibility mode is not supported.

Issue #AVRSV-1895:'Alt + G' does not open the file <avr/io.h>. This file is not parsed by Visual Assist.

Issue #AVRSV-1901:Creating two projects in the same solution which have different devices is not supported. Create two differentsolutions instead.

Issue #AVRSV-2022:Running Folding@home together with Atmel Studio may cause unresponsive user interface. We recommend todisable the Folding@home when running Atmel Studio.


15

Issue #AVRSV-2163:

Files or folders with more than one consequent spaces are not supported as part of AVRStudio 5 projects.

Issue #AVRSV-2462:

Reading target voltage with the TPI interface enabled might cause all further actions to fail.

Issue #AVRSV-2558:

HVPP for ATtiny2313A does not work on STK500.

Issue #AVRSV-2601:

During installation of Atmel Studio, the Visual Studio 2010 Shell installation will re-register the 'vsjitdebugger'.This might make Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2005 unable to debug a crashed application reported byWindows.

Workaround: Run repair of Visual Studio on top of the Atmel Studio installation. This should re-enable thecapability of Visual Studio to get a chance to handle crashed applications.

Issue #AVRSV-2884:

Project creation may fail when file/folder name of the project or its sub-items name exceeds 256 characterslimit.

Issue #AVRSV-3296:

Autocompletion and snippets provided by Visual Assist can generate invalid embedded C++, and it might alsotry to insert C++ in a C project.

This includes exceptions, classes and namespace declarations.

Issue #AVRSV-3313:

If you encounter the error : variable 'xxxx' must be const in order to be put into read-only section by meansof '_attribute_((progmem))', then this description applies. The problem is due to the incompatibility of theASF source code with the AVR GCC compiler. The GCC 4.6 Release document (http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html) mentions that the error is expected and to use the ASF projects created in 5.1 (i.e ASF 2.9.0)we have to use avr gcc toolchain verison 3.3.1 and for later ASF versions use 3.4.0. Alternatively you couldmanually add the const qualifier to the variable(s) that are reported, when compiling ASF 2.9.0 projects withAVR GCC toolchain 3.4.0 or later.

Issue #AVRSV-3376:

If a custom destination folder is selected in the Atmel Studio installer, some components will still installthemselves in the default location.

Issue #AVRSV-3672:

ASF projects cannot be created in UNC paths. To create the ASF project, map the UNC path to a networkdrive.

Issue #AVRSV-3761:

If atprogram is interrupted during programming, the next invocation to the same programming tool may throwan error. A hardware reset of the tool will resolve the issue.

Issue #AVRSV-3993:

On virtual machines like VirtualBox, the event endpoint may not work properly and no events will bepropagated from the tool to Atmel Studio. This mainly impacts debugging.

Issue #AVRSV-4005:

Setting flash region lockbits when using SEGGER may have no effect, as the SEGGER tool may unlock theflash region before it writes to it at a later stage.

Issue #AVRSV-4037:

Using a SEGGER tool, after a chiperase in the programming dialogue, reading device flash to file does notreflect the true (erased) state of the device.


16

Issue #AVRSV-4050:User signature on RFR parts can only be accessed by JTAG or parallel programming.

Issue #AVRSV-4079:Launching debug with an ELF file containing non-0xFF lockbits may fail. Lockbits should not be set fordebugging.

Issue #AVRSV-4216:After installing an extension, some windows, most notably the Memory Windows, can pop up floating on thescreen and leaving a blank memory window docked. If this happens, rearrange the windows as desired.

Issue #AVRSV-4337:Build abruptly fails in Atmel studio without proper error message and the error window shows no error.Tail of the Build Output:Task "RunCompilerTask"========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========Reason: Project file was upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1.

Steps to Restore back the project to working condition:

Scenario 1: (With Backup)

Check whether there is a back up project in the projectfolder with the name ProjectName_6_0 (For Examplethe backup project is GccApplication1_6_0.cproj if the actual project name is GccApplication1.cproj)

* Project with the name GccApplication1.cproj is the upgraded project to confirm edit the project file in editoryou should be able to see <ProjectVersion>6.1</ProjectVersion>.

* Open the project GccApplication1_6_0.cproj in Atmel Studio 6.0. It should prompt you to save the solution file.Save and build it should work fine.

Scenario 2: (Without Backup)

If the backup project is not found in the project folder chances are that you would have upgraded the projectfrom 6.0 to 6.1 without opting for the backup.

* Edit the project file modify <ProjectVersion> tag and set the version to 6.0 and also modify the<ToolchainName> tag by removing .C or .CPP from the tag ( For example com.Atmel.AVRGCC32.C must berenamed as com.Atmel.AVRGCC32) build the project now.

Issue #AVRSV-4380:When building a project in Atmel Studio, and if you get an error like the one as follows

<some file>.o: No such file or directory

during the linking stage, then it could be because of the number of characters in the command line. Windowsexpects that the command line be less than 8192 characters.

To workaround the issue, reduce the name of the folder so that the command line becomes shorter.

Issue #AVRSV-4440:The SAM header files have been updated and due to this there are breaking changes when upgrading from6.0 to 6.1. Bare bone SAM projects created with Atmel Studio 6.0 can get compilation errors due to changes indefines. You can continue to use the old headers by keeping Atmel Studio 6.0 and 6.1 installed in parallel anduse the toolchain from 6.0. ASF projects are not affected.

Issue #AVRSV-4501:Toolchain libraries "Full Path" property will display the base path of the current toolchain.

Issue #AVRSV-4521:If a library is removed, the Library list in the solution explorer may not update. Double click the "Libraries" nodeto refresh the status of Libraries presence.

Issue #AVRSV-4576:Modifying EEPROM data values in the memory view during debugging of XMEGAE5 devices causes theEEPROM data to be corrupted.

Issue #AVRSV-4659:Programming SAM4L and some UC3 devices may fail when core voltage is raised above 1.9 V.

Issue #AVRSV-4753:In the information window for Xplained Pro kits, the revision is not the actual chip revision, but the revisioncoded into the Xplained Pro itself. Use the Programming Dialog to read the correct revision from the device.

Issue #AVRSV-4953:All users are asked to log in when downloading extensions from the Extension Manager. If the user for somereason does not want to log in and closes the log-in dialog, the Extension Manager may crash Atmel Studio.

Issue #AVRSV-5050:Starting the process by selecting "Start Debugging and Break" or "Start Without Debugging" does not performflash memory verification. If the BOOTPROT fuse is set in the device, flash memory may not get programmedcorrectly and no error will be displayed.

Issue #AVRSV-5324:Modifying SAMD20 port registers like OUTSET, OUTCLR and OUTTGL will not have the expected resultunless the full register value is taken into consideration. The mentioned registers reflects the current value ofOUT when read by the user application and Atmel Studio. Clicking a single bit in one of these registers in theIO View will write back the full register with only the clicked bit toggled from its existing value, causing a set,clear or toggle action also on other set bits in that register. These considerations can be avoided by directlysetting and clearing bits in the OUT (or corresponding) register.

Issue #AVRSV-5339:Variables in Live Watch are not updated when single stepping on UC3 devices.

Issue #AVRSV-5378:SAM devices: Interrupt flags that are cleared by reading a register, can unexpectedly be cleared by thedebugger if the register is monitored in the IO view or the Memory view in Atmel Studio. An example is theRXRDY flag for USART0 in SAM4LC4C, which might be cleared if the debugger breaks and reads the RHRregister in order to display its value.

Issue #AVRSV-5450:During trace activation, Atmel Studio can silently fail to enable trace on multi-core devices where theTRACESWO pin is shared by the cores through a mux that does not switch automatically to the active core.To be able to get trace on these devices, the mux for the TRACESWO signal needs to be set correctly by theusers application.

Issue #AVRSV-5527:The Live Watch feature in Atmel Studio does not work well with expressions as the variable. Since the watchin this case is on a memory address, the Live Watch implicitly adds a ampersand (&) before the variable beingwatched to extract the address of the variable. This means that expressions will be evaluated to the wrongvalue.

Issue #AVRSV-5711:Relocating the .text segment may cause the debugger to fail in certain conditions. This results in 'Startdebugging and break' to stop at a high address in the disassembly view.

To make the debugger break the application entry, tick the 'Override VTOR' option in the project properties,and ensure that the text box contains the address of the interrupt vector. This is usually 'exception_table'or '&exception_table', depending on the startup code in the project. The difference between these is that'&exception_table' is a struct, while 'exception_table' is a function pointer array.

Issue #AVRSV-5792:Installation of Atmel Studio 6.2.1153 after Atmel Studio 6.2 Service Pack 1 corrupts the installation of AtmelStudio 6.2 Service Pack. The installations cannot co-exist so always uninstall Atmel Studio 6.2 Service Pack 1before installing Atmel Studio 6.2.1153.


18

Issue #AVRSV-5837:Trying to enable GDB for AVR32 projects will probably fail in even the simplest debugging, such as Halt, Step,and Go. It is not recommended to ignore the warning shown when this option is enabled for a project.

Issue #AVRSV-5854:The Atmel USB Driver Package may fail during installation with error '0x800b010a - A certificate chain couldnot be built to a trusted root authority'. The reason for this is that the built in certificate in Windows is out of dateand needs to be updated through Windows Update. If you are unable to perform a update, then the update canbe manually downloaded from KB931125 from Microsoft.

Issue #AVRSV-5987:Atmel Studio would not be able to erase a SAM4L part if the part was put into a sleep mode immediately afterstartup. Note that a POR may be required after programming to be able to establish contact.
