How do I "replicate" an IDE like the Keil uVision or the TI CCS using Visual Studio Code?

• sdk-ng

  4 157 8.1 C

  Zephyr SDK (Toolchains, Development Tools)

  

There are free gcc based cross tools (compilers, debuggers, emulators) for a lot of MCUs (ARM, MIPS, riscv, etc).

• gdb-dashboard

  19 10,580 4.4 Python

  Modular visual interface for GDB in Python

Debugging: Learn gdb. You can use it for assembly. You can use it for C on a MCU. You can use it for Go on a Linux system. It’s ubiquitous, versatile, and worth understanding. You can pretty-print the output with something like this to help you out at first. There are 2 things you need, however: on chip debugger and a debug probe (though you don’t need an expensive one). Effectively, you talk to GDB, GDB talks to the server exposed by OCD, OCD knows the debug probe protocol, and the debug probe can use the MCU debug peripheral via SWD or JTAG to get those details.

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• STM32CubeF4

  10 791 6.3 C

  STM32Cube MCU Full Package for the STM32F4 series - (HAL + LL Drivers, CMSIS Core, CMSIS Device, MW libraries plus a set of Projects running on all boards provided by ST (Nucleo, Evaluation and Discovery Kits))

  

Lastly, and I think these were the hardest things to find when I was transitioning away from Keil, is all of the vendor-specific and compiler-specific “glue” like startup files and linker scripts. For example, STM32F4 startup, system config, and linker scripts can be found here for various MCUs
