Visual Studio Code and the CCS compiler
PostPosted: Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:31 am     Reply with quote

Has anyone experimented with using Visual Studio Code to do builds with the CCS compiler? A coworker of mine got his set up where it can build and then load to the board all from within VS Code. The only thing he needs the IDE for is setting project settings and using the debugger.

I wondered if anyone had made an extension to handle all of this.

I haven't used VS code for this, but I've only ever used MPLAB X. Since CCS compiler has a plug-in for MPLAB X, setup is quite easy.

But from what I know, VS code is quite flexible. You just have to wait for somebody to write a plug-in... Or do it yourself

Visual Studio Code doesn't have a plugin for PICC CCS.

There should be the way to make VSC run pcwhd compiler (aka build project) with args to compile exact file but I can't find how to do this Confused

Anyone could help?

There have been a number of threads about using VS in the past. This one
seems to describe how to do it:

Just as a note, VS Code is not the same as Visual Studio. VS Code is more of a flexible extendable text editor/IDE for any language/platform that people can write plugins for, where as Visual Studio is an IDE targetted specifically for coding for Windows based platforms using languages that Microsoft supports.

I'm sure you already know this, but highlighting it for others who may get them confused.

I must admit I can't think how you could use MS Visual studio with CCS, or
even think that it would be useful, since it's syntax rules are not changeable.
I assumed that the poster would be asking about a development IDE that
could be used with a compiler like CCS, which VS can. You can integrate
third party compilers with Visual Studio by editing the vcproj file, but it
won't change the syntax rules.
He says 'code' as the last part of the question, so I assumed he was talking
about VS Code, rather that Visual Studio....
