# About

Small example to run a STM32F303 under VSCode with CMake and Ninja. 

If you need a teplate with settings without STM32CUBE files go to:

[Template](https://github.com/FoxMD/VSCode-STM32-template)

### Used tools:

- arm-none-eabi-gcc

- STM32CubeProgrammer

- ST-Link_gdbserver[^1]

- CMake

- Ninja [Ninja build system](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases)

### Used VSCode plugins/tools:

- ms-vscode.cpptools: [Syntax highlighting and other core features for C/C++ development](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools)

- ms-vscode.cmake-tools: [CMake core tools, build system generator tool](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools)

- twxs.cmake: [CMake color highlighting](https://github.com/zyxar/Sublime-CMakeLists)

- marus25.cortex-debug: [Cortex-M debugging extension, mandatory for STM32 debug from VSCode ](https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug)

- dan-c-underwood.arm: [ARM Assembly syntax highlighter ](https://github.com/dan-c-underwood/vscode-arm)

- zixuanwang.linkerscript: [GCC Linker script syntax highlighter ](https://github.com/TheNetAdmin/vscode-linkerscript)

# Comparison to CubeIDE

### Size:

Generated .hex is bigger with VSCode even with the same settings

- CubeIDE: 18,9KB - RAM: 1587 B, FLASH: 6850 B

- VSCode: 50,8KB - RAM: 2064 B, FLASH: 18496 B 

### Performace:

For now it seems to be comparable, will see on DSP applications (updates will come)

### Debug:

Comparable, some options are better on VSC some on STMCubeIDE

### Easy to use:

For a beginner STMCubeIDE would be to recommend, but for advanced users VSCode is nice, it gives you one editor for more languages for testing scripts, GUI, frontend, etc...  

# ToDo:

- Include files path error highligting (c_cpp_properties.json needs to be adjusted)

# Known issues

[^1]: Some AV delete ST-Link_servergdb.exe and let the .bat file exist, while trying to debug your project, you get an error:

`Debugger error: Client: Error: read ECONNRESET` 

**Solution:** Just install it again and put a exception in your AV for the exe file before you run it again[^1].
