VSCode Plugin for Nuclei SDK

[fanghuaqi]

Maybe we can have a VSCode plugin for nuclei sdk in future, which provide the following features:

• Automatically download or use existing Nuclei SDK source code base
• Create or use existing nuclei-sdk project as templates
• Create project wizard support choosen of SoC, Board, Core, Download
• Support build and debug application directly in VSCode using Makefile build system

Currently we have platformio-nuclei which also provide Nuclei SDK intergation in VSCode, but maybe there will be a good try to have a native plugin to directly use Nuclei SDK build system.

Microsoft now have a preview tool for Makefile projects (microsoft/vscode-makefile-tools here at github).

I was able to use nuclei-sdk on VScode without need of setup_config(.sh/.bat), only needed changes are in "$(NUCLEI_SDK_ROOT)/Build/Makefile.conf" line 7:

from: NUCLEI_RISCV_GCC_ROOT ?= $(NUCLEI_SDK_TOOL_ROOT)/$(COMPILE_PREFIX)gcc
to: NUCLEI_RISCV_GCC_ROOT ?= $(NUCLEI_SDK_TOOL_ROOT)/gcc

After that, add the path to Nuclei's gcc as "NUCLEI_SDK_TOOL_ROOT=..." instead of "NUCLEI_TOOL_ROOT=..." in the program Makefile, or in Makefile.local (together with program Makefile) or as Makefile.global in "nuclei-sdk/Build"

hint: the default search path for NUCLEI_SDK_TOOL_ROOT is $(NUCLEI_SDK_ROOT)/prebuilt_tools

I'm following the recommended dir strutct of "Nuclei/gcc" and "Nuclei/openocd" for nuclei tools, like in the README.md

• this change also works for building outside VScode

Thank you @jardinimf for your detailed investigation, I will accept you suggestion and update the Makefile later.
