Embedded development with VS and VS Code

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Visual Studio and VS Code now show a peripheral register view and an RTOS object view (Azure RTOS, FreeRTOS, Zephyr) that display registers, stack usage and task states; a demo flashes a dev board over WSL using USBIP, steps into assembly, reads TIM3->CCR1 updating live, and respects hardware breakpoint limits (six on that board). Toolchains and openOCD/cmake/ninja are declared in a VC package manifest that a single VC package activate command restores for IDE and CI.
