Supported Chips
Supports all STM32 families including:
STM32F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F7 series
STM32G0, G4 series
STM32H7 series
STM32L0, L1, L4, L5 series
STM32U series
STM32WB, WL series
And more!
Requirements
VS Code 1.60.0 or higher
Internet connection for downloading SVD files
How It Works
The extension maintains a mapping of all STM32 chip numbers to their corresponding SVD files. When you enter a chip number like STM32F091RC, it automatically determines that it uses STM32F091x.svd and downloads it from the official CMSIS-SVD repository.
Perfect for
Cortex-Debug: Use with the Cortex-Debug extension for peripheral register viewing
Embedded Development: Essential for STM32 embedded projects
