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.

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.
ok, Look I explain you what is my work, I was presented this IDE with the aim that the libraries that we build of the different peripherals (display, sensors, etc) we can use it in any other microcontroller, that is if I make the library of a sensor with the microcontroller SAMD21G18A, that same library, with the simple fact of changing some functions, configurations and the library of microcontroller we can use it in another microcontroller either freescale, toshiba, etc. And the idea that I had found was to take advantage of the libraries that each manufacturer offers and move it to keil, a clear example is Texas Instrument, this manufacturer gives you the option to use the library in their own IDE (Code Composer Studio) or use it in other IDE's either keil, IAR, etc. But the surprise I found was that ATMEL(Microchip) does not give me the option to use that same library in Keil uVision, I can use it IAR and another IDE that uses ECLIPSE but KEIL does not, here is the manual:
Even the microchip page says so:
Now as an expert, what do you recommend to be able to use this SAMD21 microcontroller inside Keil? Because if I use as such a microchip studio, it wouldn't be any good for the company to give me this IDE if at the end of the day I'm going to use every manufacturer's IDE and that's what my boss doesn't want, and as an expert, you know that this IDE is used a lot worldwide, so my boss, for some reason I choose to use Keil to program all microcontrollers, I have even bought the ULINK2 that I am working with and some other keil kits and it has shown them to me, so my insistence to use keil, I the net, is the first time that I use keil I don't have much to start working with this tool and I use it with my first ARM microcontroller which is texas instrument Tiva Lounchpad or Tiva C series.
Now another question, here in Mexico, is there any company that has agreements with ARM and gives courses to manage keil uVision? or anything else related to ARM, because not only am I the only one in the company that will occupy this IDE, but a team of 4 people and maybe some other people.
Please keep to one question per thread - start a new thread for a new question.
Keil's sales contact details are on the Keil website.
