Building PanelDue Firmware with Visual Code Studio

[presto]

Is there a way to build PanelDue firmware with VS Code? So far I am unsuccessful with the below errors.

C:/Users/Presto/Desktop/PanelDueFirmware-3.5.0-rc6/src/Library/Thumbnail.cpp: In function 'bool ThumbnailDataIsValid(ThumbnailData&)':

Using default build system

$ cmake -B build -DDEVICE="v3-7.0" .
$ make -C build all -j12

Hey @presto, it should be straight forward.

Basically it is using cmake a makefile or build system generator.

Also Microsoft maintains a cmake extension.

@presto

I suspect arm-none-eabi-objcopy can not be found. You need to fix your path or use an absolute path for your toolchain.

@mfs12 Moved relevant files to VSCode toolkit directory solved the issue.
