Renesas provides Renesas Build Utilities (renesas-build-utilities) and Renesas Debug (renesas-debug) extensions for VS Code in order to help building and debugging for Renesas C/C++ project in VS Code for Dialog, RA, R-Car, RH850, RL78, RX, RZ device families. This user guide, outlines how to use the Renesas VS Code plugins within the Microsoft Visual Studio Code(*).
(*) Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages and runtimes (such as C, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go, .NET). With C/C++ for Visual Studio Code extension, C/C++ language support, including editing intellisense and debugging futures, could be added for VS Code. Please visit User Guide for VS Code for more information.
