mikroProg AVR hardware dubegger

[digibum]

I'm coming from Arduino and would like to start using mikroC Pro for AVR.
I have sucessfuly written my first, seccond and more programs. Now it's time to start debugging.

When I hit from menu Run > Start Debugger (F9). It starts and works, but this is only "virtual" (software) debugger that works even if mikroProg is not connected to PC.

How to start hardware debugger? I need to read some PINs and can,t do that with software debugger.

Thank you.

EDIT1
I have learnd that i'm missing this

I dont have Build/Debugger type options to chose Why is that?

Currently using ATMEGA328P

Hello,

Currently, hardware debugging is not supported for the AVR micro controllers and mikroe programmers.

This means that the only way to do hardware debugging is via serial port? Or there are some other better methods of doing this? Thank you

Hi,

Unfortunately, yes - only by using serial port - or you could use LED debug method - power on a led if the line of code has been successful - then you know that the specific line has been executed

Best regards
