This is an example configuration for setting up Visual Studio Code for Zephyr application development. It was originally created for the talk entitled, "Zephyr & Visual Studio Code: How to Develop Zephyr Apps with a Modern, Visual IDE" at EOSS 2023.

The original example has been modified to demonstrate Zephyr application development targeting the Infineon CYW920829M2EVK-02 Evaluation Kit.

There are many, many different ways to develop a Zephyr application. This example currently assumes:

• In-tree development
• Building samples/basic/thread so we can demonstrate thread-aware debugging
• Targetting CYW920829M2EVK-02

1. Follow the Zephyr Getting Started Guide for your OS
2. Turn on Compilation Database with west config build.cmake-args -- -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
3. Copy the .vscode folder and/or the zephyr.code-workspace file to samples/basic/thread
4. See board doc for the CYW920829M2EVK-02
   • Install Infineon customized OpenOCD according to instructions
5. Open samples/basic/thread in VS Code
   • Accept to install recommended extensions
6. Edit settings in .vscode/settings.json and/or zephyr.code-workspace to reflect the actual paths used
   • zephyr.zephyr_base
   • zephyr.zephyr_sdk_install_dir
   • infineon.openocd_base
7. Set the Python: Interpreter Path in VS Code settings
   • If Python virtual environments were used during install, this would be something like:
     • ~/zephyrproject/.venv/bin/python3
8. Try the different build tasks and the flash task
9. Try to connect over the serial terminal
10. Try step debugging
    • Enable thread awareness support by adding CONFIG_DEBUG_THREAD_INFO=y in application file prj.conf
