This guide will help you install and setup Visual Studio Code for programming and debugging STM32 boards.
I tested this guide under Arch Linux and Ubuntu 18.04. If you get it to work under other setups, please let me know so I will update the steps with more info.
If you were using STM32CubeIDE or SystemWorkbench before, you need to convert your projects in order for them to work. The conversion procedure is fully reversible.
Up until the time of writing this guide, it is not possible to use STM32CubeIDE and Visual Studio Code on the same project unless some configuration changes are made on CubeIDE.
Besides that, it is reccomended that every person that works on a project runs the same working environment.
