Support for uVision 5.xx #7

Closed ghost closed 2 months ago

ghost commented 11 months ago

Type: Feature Request

We are using uVision 5.27 and it would be great if we could VSCode as front end and still using ARM toolchain.

Thank you.

@SM-Kleemann When you refer to "ARM toolchain" could you be a bit more precise? Assuming you simply want to continue to use the Arm Compiler Version 6.18 using your current Keil MDK license, this can be achieved.

The CMSIS-Toolbox backend used by the Arm CMSIS csolution VSCode extension allows you to register toolchains

MDK 5.37 ships with Arm Compiler Version 6.18.0

  set AC6_TOOLCHAIN_6_18_0=c:\Keil_v5\ARM\ARMCLANG\bin

Note: run the command 

  csolution list toolchains -v

to see which toolchain versions you can select from and where they are installed.

We use Keil MDK version 5.38 with Arm C compiler V5.06 update 6 (build 750). We had to install this specific compiler after installing Keil MDK 5.38. We cannot change compilers. I noticed on https://learn.arm.com/learning-paths/microcontrollers/uvprojx-conversion/ it says "Arm Compiler 5 is not supported." Is that the end and final answer? No support for using MDK projects on VS Code if you're using version 5 of armcc.exe?

Is it possible to have C51 compiler support in VSCode extension? If already have can anydbody guide me the documentation? right now I am using uVision 5 and C51 compiler.

Please excuse the delay in response. Yes, it is the final answer, that there is no plans to support Arm Compiler 5 in CMSIS-Toolbox and VSCode. Note that Arm Compiler 5 is not supported since a long time.

There are no plans to develop a VSCode extension supporting Keil C51 toolchain.
