Zephyr & Visual Studio Code: How to Develop Zephyr Apps with a Modern, Visual IDE
summary
Claims that Visual Studio Code becomes a usable Zephyr IDE by wiring together real tools and configs: intellisense for Zephyr kernel and app from a generated compile_commands.json, West build / West flash tasks tied into tasks.json, and debugging via cortex-debug and Microsoft embedded tools with serial monitor and breakpoints. The demo loads a Zephyr thread sample, builds, flashes, opens the serial terminal and successfully steps through code. Workspace/.vscode files make the environment shareable and reproducible.
