nRF Connect for VS Code

What nRF Connect for VS Code is

nRF Connect for VS Code is a free Visual Studio Code extension for developing, building, and debugging applications based on the nRF Connect SDK. It supports nRF91, nRF70, nRF53, and nRF52 Series devices. Its build tools provide interfaces to the compiler and linker, alongside an RTOS-aware debugger and integrated flashing. For device configuration, developers can use a DeviceTree visual editor and a wizard to create a new board. The environment combines a built-in terminal with command-line and graphical interfaces. The product comprises four Nordic extensions: nRF Connect for VS Code, nRF DeviceTree, nRF Kconfig, and nRF Terminal; Nordic says they must be installed and used together for supported SDKs and full functionality. The main extension is available through the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, and documentation lists the extensions in the Open VSX Registry for compatible editors. Nordic identifies nRF Connect for Desktop and nRF Command Line Tools as additional desktop tools, and recommends its SDK Fundamentals course for getting started. The extension runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
