AXON Studio

Telechips SDK development, integrated into Visual Studio Code.

AXON Studio is the platform (shell) for building Telechips-based projects in VS Code. It manages the full project lifecycle — create, configure, and build — and hosts optional plug‑ins (MCAL Configurator, CCF, SDK Builder, and more) that you install only when you need them.

For Telechips customers. AXON Studio clones and builds Telechips SDKs, which require authorized access. Features that fetch source code will only work if your account has access to the Telechips SDK repositories.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.85 or newer
• A remote build host via Remote‑SSH or WSL. AXON Studio runs on the machine where the SDK is built (a Linux build server or WSL), not on a local Windows session.
• Authorized access to the Telechips SDK repositories. Project creation and build features depend on this access.

Features

• Create Project — generate a new project from the sidebar and pick a type:
  • MCU Standalone
  • Yocto (autolinux)
  • RTS‑BSP (standalone RTOS BSP)
• Build view — build buttons are driven by an SDK‑owned definition file (vsce-<type>.json) placed next to the build script, so the build options always match the SDK.
• ToolChain (automatic) — the required toolchain is shared as a single copy per machine and linked into each project automatically, so you don't re‑download or re‑extract it for every project. No setup needed; advanced users can override the location via ToolChain in the Command Palette.
• Plug‑in install — AXON Studio is a shell plus plug‑ins. Install only the tools you need from a checklist; installed plug‑ins add their own panels to the AXON Studio sidebar.

Getting Started

1. Connect to your Linux build server with Remote‑SSH (or open a WSL folder).
2. Open the AXON Studio view in the sidebar (Workspace → Project / Build).
3. Project → Create Project, choose a project type, and follow the dialog.
4. Set the project type with Project → Set Project Type if you opened an existing project.
5. Use the Build group to run the SDK's build commands.

The toolchain is prepared automatically the first time you create or set the type of a project.

Extension Settings

Settings live under axon-studio-config.*, for example:

• axon-studio-config.projectType — current project type
• axon-studio-config.toolchain.gccArmNoneEabi — shared gcc‑arm toolchain location (auto by default)
• axon-studio-config.toolchain.yoctoBuildtools — shared Yocto buildtools location (auto by default)

Most users never need to change these; they are filled in automatically.

Plug‑ins

AXON Studio only provides the platform. Domain tools ship as separate extensions and are installed on demand:

• AXON Studio: FWDN
• AXON Studio: MCAL Configurator
• AXON Studio: Network Route Configurator

Use the plug‑in install command from the Project panel to pick and install the ones you need.
