 - source-level debugging (using gdb/mi and JLink gdb server)
 - SDK configuraion (using CMSIS Configuration Wisard included with the Nordic SDK)

The repo contains configurations for PCA10056(nRF52840) and PCA10040(nRF52832) dev boards.
Only Windows is currently supported.

 __Setup__
 - Clone this repo
 - edit the ble_app_blinky\vscode.bat and adjust all paths to match your configuration
 - set PCAXXXXX_SN variable to serial numbers of your dev boards
 - edit gcc compiler settings in nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\components\toolchain\gcc\Makefile.windows
  
__Running the Visual Studio Code__

Run the ble_app_blinky\vscode.bat. It opens VcCode workspace containing three folders - the root folder of the app (containing main.c)
and two hw-specific folders PCA10040 and PCA10056.

Open the main.c and verify that IntelliSense has found all header files. Go though the file and verify that you can follow
definitios etc. Note that there are two IntelliSense configurations, one per each hw variant.

There are five tasks configured in each hw-specific folder:
 - build
 - clean
 - flash
 - flash_softdevice
 - sdk-config
 
 Connect your dev board, run tasks and monitor the console window to ensure they work.
 
 There is a separate debugger configuration per each hw variant. To start the debugger, first ensure that your board flashed ok and the blinky
 app works. Switch to VcCode Debugger window, select correct configuration and start debugger. The debugger should connect to the board,
 reset it, and break at main(). Ensure that IntelliSense configuration matches the HW you debug.
