zephyr-vscode-example

This is an example configuration for setting up Visual Studio Code for Zephyr application development.

Example details

There are many, many different ways to develop a Zephyr application. This example currently assumes:

All paths follow the Getting Started Guide
Uses the Zephyr SDK where possible (ex. Host tools are not available on macOS or Windows)
In-tree development
Use of Python Virtual Environments
Building samples/basic/thread so we can demonstrate thread-aware debugging
Targetting an nRF52840 DK

Follow the Zephyr Getting Started Guide for your OS and make sure to use virtual environments
Turn on Compilation Database with west config build.cmake-args -- -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
Copy the .code-workspace for your OS to samples/basic/thread as well the .vscode folder
Retrieve ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR with cmake -P zephyr/cmake/verify-toolchain.cmake. It'll be the prefix of the C_Cpp.default.compilerPath
Set the Python: Interpreter Path
CD to samples/basic/thread
Try the different build tasks and the flash task
Try to connect over the serial terminal
TODO try step debugging
