VS Code Setup

This config was done using Windows connected to an Ubuntu machine using the remote SSH tools. The operating system is Ubuntu Linux, but all VS Code commands are Windows.

Install following extensions:

- C/C++ (Microsoft)
- CMake (twxs)
- CMake Tools (Microsoft)
- Remote - SSH (Microsoft) if connecting to a remote Linux machine

Configure C/C++ extension (Linux)

The C/C++ extension can be configured with multiple configurations. I have a config named AVR as shown below.

Configure:

• Open command window (Ctrl + Shift + P in Windows)
• Select C/C++: Edit Configurations (JSON)
• Add an AVR configuration similar to below

C/C++: Edit Configurations (JSON)

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "AVR",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**"
            ],
            "defines": [],
            "compilerPath": "/usr/bin/avr-gcc",
            "cStandard": "gnu11",
            "cppStandard": "gnu++14",
            "intelliSenseMode": "linux-gcc-x64"
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

Build and Flash

Open up the Makefile at the root of this repo and change the folloing values as needed. be sure to remove any extension from the file name as this MakeFile will search for ${FILENAME}.c and generate ${FILENAME}.o, ${FILENAME}.elf and ${FILENAME}.hex files.

The PORT will need to change depending on where you have your arduino plugged in.

# change these values as needed
FILENAME=blink
DEVICE=atmega328p
PORT=/dev/ttyACM0

To build and flash, open up the integrated terminal in VS Code using key combo Ctrl + `

Run the make command

sudo make
