We’re excited to announce the launch of the XMOS XTC Tools Extension on VS Code, bringing the full XMOS development experience directly into one of the world’s most popular editors.
Developers expect fast, flexible workflows. By bringing XMOS tools into VS Code, we’re reducing setup time, simplifying workflows, and delivering a more streamlined development experience for XCORE® developers.
The XMOS XTC Tools Extension transforms VS Code into a complete toolkit for developing, building, running, debugging, and flashing software on XMOS XCORE devices.
Key features include:
- Rich C/C++ IntelliSense integration for a smooth development experience
- One-click build and configurable build options
- Easy device selection for build, run, and flash workflows
- Run and debug applications directly from VS Code
- Built-in tools to set breakpoints, inspect state, and step through code
- One-click flashing to target devices
- Access to the full XTC command-line tools via the integrated terminal
Whether you’re prototyping or deploying production code, you can now stay entirely within VS Code and streamline your XMOS workflow.
