STM32 developement on Visual Studio Code

This guide will help you install and setup Visual Studio Code for programming and debugging STM32 boards.

I tested this guide under Arch Linux and Ubuntu 18.04. If you get it to work under other setups, please let me know so I will update the steps with more info.

Warning

If you were using STM32CubeIDE or SystemWorkbench before, you need to convert your projects in order for them to work. The conversion procedure is fully reversible.
Up until the time of writing this guide, it is not possible to use STM32CubeIDE and Visual Studio Code on the same project unless some configuration changes are made on CubeIDE. Besides that, it is reccomended that every person that works on a project runs the same working environment.

Introduction

BeagleBoard came out with a new iteration called PocketBeagle in late september 2017. The new Beagle is minimalistic in nature, consisting primarily of an SD Card Reader, a Micro USB Interface, and the Octavo Systems OSD3358 1GHz ARM® Cortex-A8 System-in-Package (SIP).
The getting started page for the BeagleBoard truly gets you going quick with Linux. However, those of us looking to learn embedded systems, are left high and dry. The resources on uses of the PocketBeagle/BeagleBoard for "bare metal" programming are much fewer in number than those for getting started with Linux.
When I bought the PocketBeagle, it was still very new. There were few resources online for "bare metal" booting/programming. This gist will hopefully document some of the problems I encountered while learning how to boot the PocketBeagle into my own code.

	// wiring example for ripping a PMW3360 SROM: https://i.imgur.com/EspAlvz.jpeg
	// set the board to 240mhz or higher for best results (WARNING: higher than 240mhz only works with USB if you overvolt the MCU)
	// this implements reading SPI mode 3. if you want a different mode, you need to edit these two lines:
	// uint32_t clockval = (1 << pin_clock);
	// if (newclock && !clockval && buff_i < buffsize)


	#include <pico/stdlib.h>

	#define buffsize 50000
