Using Visual Studio Code for nRF52 development

I made an experiment with configuring the VSCode IDE for nRF development. The results were quite satisfactory so I decided to post an example configuration to github in case anyone is interested. It can be found here VSC-Nordic-example.

  • OMG you're my hero! 


    I'm a C# developer but a real newbie in the embedded world.
    All I wanted was to be able to use VSCode as primary IDE with my nRF51 DK
    Thanks to you I got the blinky app working and I understand better how all the tools integrate together.

    A HUGE thanks

    EDIT: Just one issue for me, when I try to debug, I get an error "debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly". Couldn't figure out what's wrong...

  • Ok, finally got the debugging working using Cortex Debug. 
    Thanks again for this repository and clear Readme. That's a huge help for a beginner like me

  • How did you get the Cortex Debug working? I had the same issue with the "debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly" but when I try Cortex-Debug I get a GDB server timeout. Can you pls share your launch.json?

    Thanks

  • I'll try to find time tonight to push my sample projects on Github.
    If not, please be patient, it has been added on my TO-DO list

  •  As promised, here are my sample projects working with Cortex Debug https://github.com/jmevel/nRF51-VsCode-Samples

  • Thanks - looks like it is an issue with the Cortex-Debug trying to allocate an inuse port. I closed apps that kept grabbing the port and it worked after that. Cheers
