Select Your Atmel Studio Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Select your Atmel Studio project – this only works with C projects (.cproj), see note below for Assembler projects (.asmproj).<\/p>\n\n\n\n MPLAB X will create a sub-folder in your Atmel Studio project folder to store the completed MPLAB X project. It will be called Project Name.X, in this example LCD_C.X<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click Next button and on next screen, select Device Family as 8-bit AVR MCU and then your AVR device, in this example ATmega128A to match the device in your Atmel Studio project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only a few more recent tools will work with AVR in MPLAB X, which may be a reason to not change IDE for the moment, if you have an older tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tools that work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tools that don’t work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Select the tool you have available or use Simulator for debugging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the next screen you set the tool chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In most cases, you will want to select an AVR C compiler, either GCC or WinAVR. A simple project will compile with XC8 as it now supports AVR devices but there are syntax differences that will usually require changes before it will compile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have time, you may want to try XC8 and work through the compile errors as it is a very good compiler and represents the future. Here is a guide to using XC8 compiler with AVR:<\/p>\n\n\n\n XC8 AVR Guide<\/a> – opens in new tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you select XC8 C compiler it will use its built in device library but if you select AVR GCC or WinAVR, you will get this message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MPLAB X needs the AVR DFP Device support pack to compile your project using WinAVR or AVR GCC compilers, in this case ATmega_DFP. There are different packs for ATmega, ATtiny, Automotive and different ATxmega series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The link shown on screen to Atmel.com does not work so you will need Atmel Studio installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These device support packs will be in a folder called packs in Studio 7 folder under Atmel folder in Program Files. Browse through Program Files (x86) – Atmel – Studio – 7.0 – Packs – Atmel<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Select the correct folder and click on .pdsc file <\/strong>to select it as Device Support Path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MPLAB X will have loaded your Atmel Studio project and folder, just click next to keep these the same. MPLAB X will create a .X sub-folder with all the new MPLAB X project in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last screen of New Project Wizard is a summary of everything. Click Finish to create your new MPLAB X project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your new project is ready to compile and debug in MPLAB X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MPLAB X will not recognise Atmel Studio ASMPROG as a valid project type so will not convert it automatically. Instead, you will need to create a New Standalone Project, select AVR family and your AVR device then select AVRASM2 as the toolchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finish creating the new project and add your existing .asm files to source code section of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Select Device and Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
