It's only advice for you because it had to be advice for me.

# assumptions/caveats:
# - this script is run by bash 3.2+, produces a Makefile suitable for gnu make 3.81+
# - targets to build have a main function in a .c file of the same name
# - each module depended upon is in the same directory
# - each module depended upon consists of one .c and one .h file
# - if you need to link in external libraries, you still need to manually provide those to make via LDLIBS

Getting started developing/debugging on embedded STM32 ARM microcontrollers with Visual Studio Code on Windows

Straight to the point

If you're only interested in the setup process, skip to Step 1 below and ignore my rantings.

Background

I spent a lot of time over the past few years with embedded projects in various IDE's from different silicon companies, all based on Eclipse, and all equally painful and horrible to use. Eclipse is an ancient and stagnant platform, filled with bugs, lacking many features some would consider mandatory in a modern IDE. The process of writing code in Eclipse drains every drop of joy out of the process, like muddy water squeezed out of a wet rag.

I couldn't take it anymore. Something had to change. If I couldn't have code completion, fast intelligent code navigation or even a working visual debugger, why even use an IDE in the first place?
