CodeFusion Studio (CFS) is an embedded software development platform based on Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VS Code). It provides best-in-class development tooling for ADI's embedded processors and MCUs, and includes intuitive tools for newcomers while enabling advanced features for expert embedded developers.
Prerequisites
The Visual Studio Code extension requires CodeFusion Studio to be present. Download and install the CFS SDK and VS Code extension. This installs the required toolchains, SDK components, and command line tools of CodeFusion Studio.
Features
A new Workspace Creation wizard for quickly creating per-core projects as well as example applications to jumpstart your development.
Toolchains that support building for Arm Cortex-M, RISC-V, and other architectures available in supported ADI products.
System Planner with tools for allocating peripherals and memory per core, assigning signals to pins, configuring pin and clock behavior, viewing registers, and generating source code to include in your project.
Essential debugging tools including heterogeneous multi-core debugging, breakpoints, disassembly, cross-core debugging, and RTOS thread awareness.
An extensible plugin architecture that separates config choice capture from code generation, giving developers the freedom to choose RTOS, middleware, and firmware platforms.
