VS Code Extension for Renesas Memory Usage View

Renesas Memory Usage View is designed to help the users to analyze memory regions in detail, providing the size, used portion, and remaining space. Once the data is collected, the tool visualizes the memory layout using a sunburst chart, making it easy to understand memory usage across different regions and hierarchical levels. Its intuitive interface helps users monitor performance, identify unusually large allocations, and optimize memory usage efficiently. This extension can be used along with "Renesas Build Utilities" or independently.
