Compatability

Tested with

The MSDK has been updated with these v1.6.1 project files, and all examples have been populated.

Change Notes

Intellisense Improvements

The VS Code project files now "force include" a project_defines header file in settings.json.

"C_Cpp.default.forcedInclude": [
        "${workspaceFolder}/build/project_defines.h"
    ]

This file is generated by the updated MSDK build system as of the June 2023 MSDK release, and it will be placed in the build folder. (see gcc.mk for implementation details).

This new feature allows the intellisense engine to detect compiler definitions that originate purely from the build system or compiler itself. Previously, these had to be manually added, and VS Code would sometimes assume os-specific compiler flags. Now, the intellisense engine will match the compiled project 1:1.

It should be noted that the updated definitions will only happen after a build has completed.

Explicitly Source ~/.zshrc on MacOS

build, clean, and clean-periph have been modified in tasks.json to explicitly source ~/.zshrc before running make commands. This is a workaround to microsoft/vscode#186244.

See "Completing the Installation on MacOS" for MacOS setup instructions. This change ensures that the modifications to ~/.zshrc suggested by the Homebrew install instructions for Make v4+ work for VS Code's tasks. As a side effect, zsh is now the only supported shell for the MSDK. This aligns with Apple's decision to move towards zsh as the default shell.

Update RISCV toolchain

The VS Code project files now come configured for the xPack riscv-none-elf-gcc toolchain v12.2.0-3.1 for RISCV projects, which is available in the MSDK as of the June 2023 release.

Fix Duplicate Array Entries

Some projects had duplicate array entries for include and browse paths. These have now been removed.

Fix Mismatched BOARD Settings

Some projects are listed as pre-configured for specific Board Support Packages. In some cases, the "board" setting in VS Code did not match the BSP enforced by the build system. The project generator has been updated so that all project settings should match the correct BSP out of the box.
