CN FT9xx Toolchain
The FT9xx Toolchain is a free suite of tools for code development and debugging on the FT9xx series. It includes compilation tools, hardware support libraries, example projects, programming tools, and documentation.
A standard GCC compiler (GNU Compiler Collection) is provided, along with driver support libraries for each of the main functional units of the MCUs. These libraries are available as C source code or precompiled binaries. Example projects demonstrate how to use these libraries and serve as a reference for further development or hardware verification.
⚠️ Note: Starting from version V2.8.2, the Eclipse IDE and Eclipse plug-in are no longer included in the installation package. If you require Eclipse support, please refer to Section 6.3 of AN_325 – FT9xx Tool Chain Installation Guide for instructions on manual installation or refer to Github Repo FT9xx-Eclipse-Plugin for details

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. While the GitHub project Bridgetek/ft9xx-vscode(https://github.com/Bridgetek/ft9xx-vscode/tree/v2.7.0) originally served as a template application, it has now evolved into a full-featured VSCode extension. This extension replicates the capabilities of the FT9xx Eclipse plugin, offering users an integrated and streamlined development experience directly within VSCode.
To install the extension, simply search for “FT9xx VSCode Extension” in the Extensions Marketplace in VSCode and click Install. For more detailed setup guidance or troubleshooting, refer to the documentation available in the “Bridgetek/ft9xx-vscode”(https://github.com/Bridgetek/ft9xx-vscode/tree/main) GitHub repository.
