Hello! good morning everyone, I have a new problem and is using the atmel Start, I can not open the file .gpdsc, I have this legend
y lo estoy haciendo siguiendo los pasos que me recomienda MICROCHIP que esta:
Atmel START User's Guide (microchip.com)
what might not be opening the file created by atmel start?. I would appreciate it if you could help me because I can't edit the files, thank you and have a nice day.
I try to open it with keil but it doesn't let me have anything extra to add or how do I configure it?
What version of MDK are you using ?
What version(s) of MDK does START support ?
I use the MDK533 or the Keil uVision 5.33
That's the first question and the second question is:
Is there a way for the Atmel ASF library (microchip) to be incorporated into Keil uVision or do I have to use Atmel Start?
What do you mean by "incorporated" ?
It's all just source code - so, once the project has been created, there's no reason why you shouldn't port that to Keil.
But I think ASF assumes GCC - so it would be a toolchain port as well as an IDE port.
You didn't answer:
Andy Neil said:What version(s) of MDK does START support ?
the version I have is MDK533 or keil uVision 5 and is the free version so la lite.
I mean, is the ATMEL ASF library (MICROCHIP) compatible with ATMEL or do I have to use the ATMEL START configuration wizard on this page?

No, that's not what I asked.
I ask what Keil/MDK version the START export supports; ie, what version is it intended/advertised to work with?
If you're not using a supported version, then there's an obvious risk that it won't work!

So why not just use Atmel Studio (now re-branded "Microchip Studio") - seems the obvious and easiest solution?
Thank you for your answers, but I think even the question is foolish, I chose to use this IDE to program all kinds of microcontrollers from different manufacturers, not only I program the microchip microcontrollers, I think that if you were presented with the opportunity to program microcontrollers from all manufacturers in a single IDE interface, what would you do? Would you mess with each of the manufacturers and download all the IDE's from each manufacturer or would you find it easier to adapt the IDE as your native IDE from each manufacturer? At least I think that I don't know, maybe and I'm wrong.
That's why I ask if there is a way to drag or adapt keil uVision as a microchip studio?
Yes, I find it far simpler to use the manufacturer-provided and supported tools.

The manufacturers put a lot of effort into optimising their IDEs to their products - so there is usually little "messing" here.
Also, the vast majority are Eclipse-based - so very similar.
Atmel Studio is an exception.
IDEs aren't that different.
antouriel123 said:would you find it easier to adapt the IDE as your native IDE from each manufacturer?
As you can see here, that is where all the "messing" comes in!

Well if you say that it is better to use each manufacturer's IDE, what do they do or with what objective did they do then Keil uVision?
At least to me, my professor of embedded systems recommended it because I can program a wide variety of micro and this IDE can be adapted to your native IDE's, I don't understand then why Keil can't program the ATMEL micro.

No, I didn't say that; I actually said that I find that can be the easier approach - my opinion & experience.
You are now struggling with exactly the kind of issues which are avoided by taking that approach.
You have to decide what battles you want to fight - do you want to spend time to integrate 3rd-party utilities into a "standard" IDE, or do you just want to get on with developing your project?
There may be other compelling reasons to use Keil in certain cases - such as the advanced features of the ARM toolchain - but you don't really benefit from that with the Free version.
Of course, once you've paid the (significant) fee for a full Keil licence, that does become quite an incentive to make maximum use of it!
antouriel123 said: I don't understand then why Keil can't program the ATMEL micro.
Of course it can!
As I said earlier, it's all just source code - the compiler neither knows nor cares whether it was written by hand or generated by tools such as SMART or the ASF Wizard.
The tricky bit - which is where you're struggling now - is to get those custom tools to "play nice" with 3rd-party IDEs.
If your professor wants you to use code from START in Keil, then you should be going to her/him for assistance to get it working.
