You can test the implementation online: https://wokwi.com/projects/368032685146478593

This repository offers Dev Containers supports for:

• VS Code Dev Containers
• GitHub Codespaces

Note

In order to use GitHub Codespaces the project needs to be published in a GitHub repository and the user needs to be part of the Codespaces beta or have the project under an organization.

If using VS Code or GitHub Codespaces, you can pull the image instead of building it from the Dockerfile by selecting the image property instead of build in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json. Further customization of the Dev Container can be achieved, see .devcontainer.json reference.

When using Dev Containers, some tooling to facilitate building, flashing and simulating in Wokwi is also added.

• Terminal approach:

  scripts/build.sh  [debug | release]
  

  If no argument is passed, release will be used as default

• UI approach:

  The default build task is already set to build the project, and it can be used in VS Code and GH Codespaces:

  • From the Command Palette (Ctrl-Shift-P or Cmd-Shift-P) run the Tasks: Run Build Task command.
  • Terminal-> Run Build Task in the menu.
  • With Ctrl-Shift-B or Cmd-Shift-B.
  • From the Command Palette (Ctrl-Shift-P or Cmd-Shift-P) run the Tasks: Run Task command and select Build.
  • From UI: Press Build on the left side of the Status Bar.

Note

When using GitHub Codespaces, we need to make the ports public, see instructions.

• Terminal approach:

  • Using flash.sh script:

    scripts/flash.sh [debug | release]
    

    If no argument is passed, release will be used as default

• UI approach:

  • From the Command Palette (Ctrl-Shift-P or Cmd-Shift-P) run the Tasks: Run Task command and select Build & Flash.
  • From UI: Press Build & Flash on the left side of the Status Bar.

• Any alternative flashing method from host machine.

The Dev Container includes the Wokwi Vs Code installed, hence you can simulate your built projects doing the following:

1. Press F1
2. Run Wokwi: Start Simulator

Note

We assume that the project is built in debug mode, if you want to simulate projects in release, please update the elf and firmware proprieties in wokwi.toml.
