Visual Studio Code Support
Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a popular IDE for developers. Bridgetek provides the required compilation and debugging tools in the FT9xx Toolchain to use VSCode to develop programs for the FT9xx. The VSCode configuration for FT9xx is setup using JSON configuration files. The GitHub project Bridgetek/ft9xx-vscode provides a template application demonstrating the use of VSCode for FT9xx devices.
