A lean, fast and smart VS Code debugger extension for embedded development. Focused on doing as much as possible with as little as possible.
- semi-automatic configuration - whenever possible, doesn't make you specify the obvious but uses reasonable defaults
- at the same time, most settings can be overridden at multiple levels (extension configuration, launch configuration, etc.)
- standard debugger integration
- local and global variables
- watch expressions
- call stack
- breakpoints
- including Cortex-M exceptions (reset & fault)
- debug console REPL
- raw register values are included in debugger variables
- SVD support for viewing of peripheral registers
- SVDs are automatically loaded from the CMSIS-SVD Repository
- limited CoreSight support (ITM printf-style output on channel 0)
- smart program loading - doesn't push the same executable to the target device on repeated runs, reducing FLASH wear and startup time
- currently, only the Black Magic Probe is suported, including SWO trace output
- very limited support for STLINK-V3PWR (just power on/off)
If you like this project, don't hesitate to sponsor continued development. Our goal is to provide professional grade tooling, while keeping all the projects completely open, sustained only by sponsorships.
