CODECOMPOSER: Roadmap for "TI Embedded Debug for VS Code"

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

Hi all!

When reading the Code Composer Studio V20 announcement page, I read the following which struck my interest:

4. Why Theia instead of VS Code?
The Theia platform allows for more control, customization and features compared to VS Code, including the ability to support multi-core debug, cloud IDE, etc.
For VS Code users, we are developing in parallel the "TI Embedded Debug for VS Code" extension. With this VS Code extension, users will be able to develop, compile, and debug on TI boards right within the VS Code IDE.
This is highly intresting! I immediatly had the following questions:
  1. What is the roadmap for this extension?
  2. When can we expect a first beta version?
  3. What processors and architectures will this extension support?
  4. Is there a repository or space where we can follow active development?

Thanks in advance! This really seems like a huge step from TI in supporting development using VS Code.

  • Christiaan,

    We will have some version of the VS Code extension package publicly available in the same timeframe as CCSv20 but it may still be beta.

    Initially we will be supporting Arm Cortex M based microcontrollers like the MSPM0 devices and some connectivity devices but will continue to grow support. For TI proprietary architectures like C28x you are not going to see support for those until some time next year. For the Arm based devices we are leveraging OpenOCD, for C28x we have to take another approach.

    There is no public repo at the moment.

    Regards,

    John
