Visual Studio Code is a streamlined code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and
version control.
Our Visual Studio Code extensions are compatible with all the latest versions of IAR Embedded Workbench and IAR Build Tools and are available at Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
In addition, the extensions can be used for other build systems, such as CMake, source control and versioning extensions like GitHub to meet your development demands.
Our extensions enable you to work in Visual Studio Code but taking advantages of the powerful capabilities of the IAR's software solutions, such as:
- manage project files in an easy way
- build and debug projects efficiently
- make use of all C-SPY debugger drivers and debug probes
- generate messages and reports from the static code
analysis C-STAT - use language features powered by the C/C++ extension
