This is the documentation for the latest (main) development branch of the Infuse-IoT platform. If you are looking for the documentation of previous releases, use the drop-down menu on the left and select the desired version.

VSCode Integration

Infuse-IoT implements extension west commands to automatically generate VSCode configuration files for development and debugging.

Editor Configuration

Generating a basic configuration file for Infuse-IoT applications is done with the following command:

west vscode

Warning

This command overwrites any previous content in the listed files.

This generates the following files:

settings.json

• Automatic code formatting:

  • c: clang-format

  • python: ruff

• Indentation settings for cmake, c, dts and kconfig files

Searching inside VSCode can sometimes be frustrating due to the duplication of files by build and test commands. This results in multiple copies of the same file existing in different locations, cluttering the search results. Common build paths can be excluded from the search results by appending the --search-exclude option to west vscode.

Note

The default west build output directory (build) is not excluded from search results due to the presence of useful autogenerated files such as zephyr.dts, devicetree_generated.h and more.

extensions.json

Recommended extensions for working with Zephyr, CMake and C projects.

snippets.json

Quick generation of new file prefixes for .c and .h headers through typing new_file_c or new_file_h in a file.

Application Configuration

Once an application has been built, Infuse-IoT can generate application specific configuration files for Intellisense and debugging:

west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 zephyr/samples/hello_world
west vscode -d build/nrf52840dk/nrf52840/hello_world

Note

The previous command assumes you have configured application specific build directories with west config build.dir-fmt "build/{board}/{app}".

c_cpp_properties.json

Intellisense configuration for the specified application.

launch.json

Debugger configuration to launch a new instance of, or attach to a running instance of the application.
