• Ensure that your corporate or personal firewall does not block VS Code's network access during the installation of extensions.

Commands

1. Custom agent
   • Select NuTRM as the agent in the Copilot Chat interface to query TRM content.
2. Slash commands
   • /{chip}: handle issues related to the specified chip. All supported chips are listed in the Supported Chips section. For example,
     • /M55M1: questions about M55M1 TRM
     • /M460: questions about M460 TRM
   • To compare multiple chips, simply list the chip names (e.g., M55M1 vs M460) in your prompt, omitting the slash command.
   • /all: handle issues related to all supported chips.

Getting Started

1. Launch the VS Code application.

2. Make sure GitHub Copilot is signed in.

   • If it isn’t: Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) → “GitHub Copilot: Sign in”.

3. Click the Chat button to open the Chat Panel.

   

   Access Chat Input Box in Chat Panel

   • Recommended Language Model: The latest and greatest Claude model.
     Please check the GitHub Copilot plan for details on the free and subscription models.

4. To query TRM content, select NuTRM as the agent in the Copilot Chat interface.

   

5. If you want to let the agent create or edit files based on the TRM content, please enable edit tools in the Copilot Chat interface. This allows the agent to write content into files in the workspace because edit tools are disabled by default.

NOTE: After open new chat session, you need to enable edit tools again as the setting is not persistent across sessions.

1. You can specify the chip either by using the /{chip} command or by including the chip name in your prompt. Alternatively, use /all to query all supported chips.
