Visual Studio Code

Riot-Code

Riot-Code extension helps to setup quickly and easy a RIOT development environment for Visual Studio Code.

A working RIOT build environment is the only prerequisite. Just be sure that make command compiles successfully:

RIOT-DIR-WITH-MAKEFILE> make BOARD=your-board # must run successfully

NOTE For Windows users: follow these instructions for setting up a conformant build environment.

Getting Started

• Start Visual Studio Code and install C/C++ extension and riot-code.

• Open RIOT directory (File->Open Folder ...)

• Configure the parameters according to your environment:

  • Select File->Preferences->Settings... or simply Ctrl+,
  • Type riot in the search box for getting the RIOT-OS section
  • Edit and save the parameters (pay attention to board, compiler, build_dir)

Just for the first time: (Ctrl+Shift+P) and run Riot Init command.

After a few seconds you will see two files in the file Explorer view:

1. .vscode/tasks.json
2. .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json

Congrats, Your workspace is ready!

Task->Run Tasks... and the clean, build and flash development commands are available.

Ctrl+Shift+B is the default shortcut for building.
