A simple vscode extension for RIOT

A Multi Platform plugin for RIOT-OS based projects.

Prerequisite

Just be sure RIOT build successfully:

riot.build_dir> make BOARD=your-board # for example riot.build_dir = ~RIOT/example/hello-world

C/C++ for Visual Studio Code is a required extension.

Getting started

native is the default board and examples/hello-world is the default build directory.

To change these properties:

• open Settings (keyboard Ctrl+, or menu File->Preferences->Settings) and search RIOT-OS section
• modify riot.board and riot.build_dir with your values.
• set compiler value. The currently tested cross compilers are:
  • arm-none-eabi-gcc
  • msp430-gcc

Press F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P and run the command RIOT init to create both the project configuration and the three tasks:

• build: app_name
• clean: app_name
• flash: app_name

where app_name is the directory basename of riot.build_dir.

Select Tasks->Run Tasks to run the tasks.

NOTE: Starting with version 1.0.0 c_cpp_properties.json is NOT MORE automatically adjusted if you change riot.board or/and riot.build_dir: You need to run RIOT init command.
