Embedded Debugging with Visual Studio
summary
Visual Studio 2019 supports open‑folder C/C++ workflows by adding tasks.vs.json for custom build commands and launch.vs.json for debugger launch config; requires Desktop C++ and Linux dev workloads. Example uses a Python build tool (wofe) to produce firmware, a Segger J‑Link + arm‑gdb setup and a gdb server with console‑ready regex. Notes: workspaceRoot backslash issues require explicit paths, refresh the UI after edits, an undocumented "Debug on/off" command writes launcher logs, and the live demo firmware load fails.
