Using Visual Studio Code for nRF52 development

[gkazakov]

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.

If anyone encounters the warnings from IntelliSense with generic types such as uint8_t types not being defined, this seems to be due to a bug where static inline definitions seem to interfere with IntelliSense's functionality. I was able to fix this by adding the following in my c_cpp_properties.json file, in the defines section:

"__STATIC_INLINE"

this helped me immensely! thanks!

Also useful is to put "BOARD_CUSTOM" in your c_cpp_properties.json defines if youre using a custom board
