Microcontroller Development Extensions
The extensions listed here target microcontroller-powered boards.
|
Cortex Debug
This extension is a must-have to debug any Cortex MCU. It supports the Segger J-Link, OpenOCD, Texane st-util, ST-Link GDB servers.
The documentation provides clear instructions to set the configuration for specific MCUs. References

Visual Studio Code extension for Arduino
Microsoft has developed an Arduino extension for Visual Studio Code since 2016. If the first releases were rather clunky, the extension is now mature and efficient.
It no longer requires the prior installation of the Arduino IDE. Instead, as an option, it can run with the command-line variant Arduino-CLI. References

Arduino-CLI
Instead of using the Arduino IDE, I recommend using the command-line tool, Arduino-CLI.
Even though I am no longer using the Arduino IDE but only the Arduino SDK, the Arduino-CLI utility provides an easy way to update the boards packages and the libraries. References |
