Using VS and VS Code for Embedded C/C++ Development

on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Demonstrates using Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio to edit, build, flash and debug embedded C/C++ with real steps: export mbed projects to a zip that includes Makefile, tasks.json and launch.json; add -g to GCC flags to get symbols; flash ST Nucleo boards by drag‑and‑drop mass‑storage; debug with OpenOCD + GDB hitting breakpoints; configure Visual Studio to cross‑compile with ARM GCC toolchain or a Yocto SDK, and package custom platform toolsets as a VS extension (example repo on GitHub).
