Now I can step through the assembly code:Īs a downside: this does not sync with the C/C++ code shown on the left as one would expect: this is not supported in VSC. Then use ‘ Forced: Always show disassembly for functions‘: To do assembly stepping, use the Command Palette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) with ‘ Cortex-Debug: Set Force Disassembly‘: I’m using the version 1.6.1 of Visual Studio Code, and I hope this will be improved in a later release. However, doing embedded system development, being able to see and step through the assembly instructions is an essential feature.Ĭurrently assembly stepping in VSC is not easy accessible. If doing high level development, assembly code is probably not of interest. One of these things is how to step in the assembly code. Or things are there to some level, but hard to use.

The Microsoft Visual Studio Code is a great IDE, but does not (yet?) implement features for true embedded usage.
