I really don’t have a hidden agenda pimping Visual Studio Code, I just happen to like the IDE. Available Tasks in tasks.jsonĪ template Tasks.json is included when creating a project using ESP-IDF: Create project from extension template.Full disclosure, I don’t work for Microsoft (or M$ if you insist) or own any MSFT. See an example in the debugging documentation.

espIdf.getXtensaGdb: Return the absolute path of the xtensa toolchain gdb for the ESP-IDF target given by idf.adapterTargetName configuration setting and idf.customExtraPaths.

espIdf.getXtensaGcc: Return the absolute path of the xtensa toolchain gcc for the ESP-IDF target given by idf.adapterTargetName configuration setting and idf.customExtraPaths.

espIdf.getProjectName: Return the project name from current workspace folder build/project_description.json.

Example -f interface/ftdi/esp32_devkitj_v1.cfg -f board/esp32-wrover.cfg.

espIdf.getOpenOcdConfig: Return the openOCD configuration files as string.

espIdf.getOpenOcdScriptValue: Return the value of OPENOCD_SCRIPTS from idf.customExtraVars or from system OPENOCD_SCRIPTS environment variable.

espIdf.getExtensionPath: Get the installed location absolute path.

Either open Visual Studio Code and create a workspace folder.

Download and install Visual Studio Code.

Commands for tasks.json and launch.json.

Create a project from ESP-IDF examples, Build, flash and monitor.

Make sure to review our documentation first to properly use the extension. Nightly builds for Visual Studio Code or OpenVSX. Please run the ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension to update the value. NOTICE: The idf.customExtraVars have change from string to object. Develop, build, flash, monitor, debug and more with Espressif chips using Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF)
