Attiny85 load program

I not able to load the program in the attiny85, why? compilation ok, etc ok. but does not work whth the simple program of led flashing in D0. SID 0415,7. ARDUINO. in the live instalation works ok.

I not able to load the program in the attiny85, why?

Probably because you are compiling it for Arduino Uno.

To select the board:
- Right-click in the document.
- Select "Properties"
- In Property "Board" select the board you are using.
- If the board is not listed:
select "Custom"
In Property "Custom Board" enter the signature of your board, eg: ATTinyCore:avr:attinyx5.

But this will only work if the borad is installed in the "harware" folder in your Arduino installation.
If you get an "unknown package" message, then probably the best option is compiling in Arduino IDE and loading the hex file from the microcontroller.

i got it with the hex file from Arduino-IDE located in temp after compilation. Thank You.

Hi,
I have Attiny hardware installed on Arduino 1.8.13 and can upload sketches on my Attininy85. Following your recommendation the sketches won't compile on SimulIDE though. This is what I get:

Build folder: /home/pablo/.local/share/simulide/codeeditor/buildIno
SketchBook:   Librería inválida encontrada en /home/pablo/Arduino/libraries/BearSSL: No encontrado archivos de encabezado (.h) en /home/pablo/Arduino/libraries/BearSSL/home/pablo/Arduino
Custom  Board "ATTinyCore:avr:attiny85"

Error resolving FQBN: unknown package ATTinyCore

I can upload the HEX file if I compile it with Arduino, although the speed on SimulIDE is much higher. Obviously that is a work around but not ideal. Any solution?

Thanks.

Hi.
For custom boards to work in simulide, it must be manually installed in the "harware" folder in your Arduino.
Boards installed from the Arduino IDE will not work.

Thanks arcachofo, but what exactly do I have to install and where? I mean, on the hardware/ folder. Yes, but where exactly? arduino-1.8.13/hardware/arduino/avr? or .....?
I must have something already installed because I can program Attiny85 with Arduino and a sort of shield I made myself. I can also program it with vscode,

One more question. Do you know if Esp8266 can be used with SimulIDE?

Thanks arcachofo, but what exactly do I have to install and where? I mean, on the hardware/ folder. Yes, but where exactly? arduino-1.8.13/hardware/arduino/avr? or .....?

Usually the steps are these:
- Uninstall the package from the IDE
- Download the folder from the Github project or whatever and copy to arduino-1.8.13/hardware.
The signature, eg: ATTinyCore:avr:attinyx5, depends on the name of the folders.

For example, download this project: https://github.com/SpenceKonde/ATTinyCore
Rename the loong name of the folder to ATTinyCore.
Put it in  arduino-1.8.13/hardware.
And use the signature: ATTinyCore:avr:attinyx5 (not ATTinyCore:avr:attiny85).

One more question. Do you know if Esp8266 can be used with SimulIDE?

No, it's not supported.

Hi.

I've followed your instructions and after compiling this is what I get:

Any ideas?

I think the problen is that folder ATTinyCore should be in arduino-1.8.13/hardware/ , not in arduino-1.8.13/hardware/arduino/

/home/pablo/opt/arduino-1.8.13/hardware/ATTinyCore/avr

Ok, once changed I get this:

I'm sending you the project setup window.

Seems that there is some error about  BearSSL library:

SketchBook:   Librería inválida encontrada en /home/pablo/Arduino/libraries/BearSSL: No encontrado archivos de encabezado (.h) en /home/pablo/Arduino/libraries/BearSSL/home/pablo/Arduino

This path does not make any sense:
/home/pablo/Arduino/libraries/BearSSL/home/pablo/Arduino

Finally I forgot about Arduino compiler and use VSCode. I get the hex file and paste it on SimulIDE... and everything perfect!!

COMPILE Attiny4 and Attiny85.

Now it is possible to compile for Tiny84 and Tiny85 in Simulide according to Arcachofo's instructions that I summarize here:

1) Download: https://github.com/SpenceKonde/ATTinyCore
2) Copy to Arduino_1.8.19/hardware.
3) Unzip it here.
4) Rename the unzipped folder to ATTinyCore.

USE:

In Simulide Right Menu:
Compiler Settings.
Compiler: Arduino.
Bord: Custom.
Custom Board: ATTinyCore:avr:attinyx4

("ATTinyCore:avr:attinyx4" for Tiny84 and "ATTinyCore:avr:attinyx5" for Tiny85)

It Works OK for this two controllers without to compile from the Arduino-IDE (or others artifacts) and go looking for the "exe" file there.

Thanks, Arcachofo

Hi Defran. What version are you using? Not R1657, Are you? Where can I download it?

I use only and always the last version of Simulide-Trunk. Ask Arcachofo about the download for you.

Executables for testing are in the "Tester" section of the forum.
Last builds for "trunk" are here:
