Alternative IDE to SES and VSC?

[FZe]

Hi

My problem with SES are:

Variables are almost impossible to watch or view in memory, It's a lottery basically.

The other thing that bothers me is no code folding.

"Step over" is random.

Breakpoints doesn't stick.

When i search and press enter it closes the search field instead of taking me to the text i search for.

VS Code:

I can actually view my variables, basic stuff like code folding and search works fine.

But:

I have to jump between the nordic extension and the explorer tab constantly when debugging and building.

It sometimes fails to compile. This is quite disturbing since I can build in SES (same project).

Are there any professional and easy to use IDE that works with the Nordic library's out of the box?

Have any one tested any others successfully?

/Cheers

Hi,

The only IDEs Nordic supports with the nRF Connect SDK is Segger Embedded Studio and Visual Studio Code. Hopefully you will get some feedback on other alternatives from other community members, though.

Regarding problems with stepping and watching variables in SES that sounds like typical problems you get when the code has been built with optimizations. You should normally build without optimization if you want to step and watch variables.

Thank you I will disable all optimizations and have a go.

Trond Einar Snekvik Thanks for the CLion tip I will try it out as well
