This repository is the original Windows version of the GNU Compiler from Armpackaged for Visual Studio Code:
Would like to set up VS Code to work with Cygwin/Cygwin64. Already have these set up: Installed Cygwin64 on windows; Installed gcc (Compiler) and gdb (Debugger) packages from Cygwin installer; GCC and GDB are NOT in windows path. Installed Visual Studio Code; Posting this because it took me a couple of days from multiple different sources to.
Install
In Visual Studio Code goto extensions (Shift+Ctrl+X), search for 'metalcode-eu'and install the extension that is suited for your operating system.
The extension has four paths for the toolchain. You can use this in thetasks.json.
- arm-none-eabi.bin
- arm-none-eabi.include
- arm-none-eabi.lib
- arm-none-eabi.libgcc
Here is an example of tasks.json for GNU make.

When you do bare metal development, you often exclude all standard librariesbut you still need libgcc.a for integer division etc. The path to this filecontains a version number that changes with every release of the toolchain.Using this variable you do not need to update your makefiles with every newrelease of the toolchain.
