VS Codium instead VS Code

[Gaston]

How can I use STM32 extension from VS Codium?

VS Code is a non-truly open source as MS claims --> https://www.roboleary.net/tools/2022/05/31/vscode-vscodium-which-should-i-use.html

No need for the stm32 extension to build code in vscodium.  Attached are the required extensions + toolchain + cmake.

Toolchain and cmake can be in a folder in the user space without installing anything. 

Also, I have noticed that I am not able to use cortex-debug with the new build tools. Is stm32cubeclt going to be deprecated once the new vscode extension has been released?

Our first priorities will be to reach mileage/maturity on the pre-release to be able to merge it into the stable track.
Then we need to port the debug features from STM32CubeIDE to VS Code to recover the gap we have today.
Those are our top priorities.

VS Codium and Theia are options to be explored. Both requiring Open VSX. Not something we can attack in the close future.

STM32CubeCLT will be deprecated. The new "bundle manager" is a much better infrastructure to install/activate/update the required CLI tools.

Does anybody know the command to add an external loader to the launch configuration for the 3.4.11 extension?

That is an excellent question that I would like to have an answer as well, please.

Hi Hansd,

You can use the "serverExtLoader" attribute in your debug configuration using ST-Link GDB Server

"serverExtLoader": [

    {

        "loader": "<path to the loader file>",

        "initialize": false

    }

]

KR,
