Using the Developer Toolkit

Errors occurred during the build.

Errors running builder 'Integrated External Tool Builder' on project 'Sam3S-EK
xPRESS Demo App'.

Variable references empty selection: ${project_loc}

This just means that the project wasn’t selected in the Project Explorer when the build started.
This can happen if you’re merely focused on another Eclipse window, such as if you had double-
clicked Console, then started a build by pressing Ctrl+B.

To fix empty selection: ${project_loc}, just click any part of the project in Project Explorer and
start the build again.

Common Error 2

If you see Error 0x80010135: Path too long, move your project directory higher up the directory
hierarchy so its internal path names won’t be as long. (See also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/

Installing JTAG ICE and J-LINK GDB Server

Obtaining a JTAG ICE

For developers without SAM3 JTAG capabilities, we recommend the purchase of a SAM-ICE
from Atmel. (These instructions assume this is what you are using.)

You will need a separate JTAG adapter to go from the Cortex 10-pin connector to the 20 pin
JTAG connector, which can be purchased here:
