Requirements
This extension requires ModusToolbox version 3.2 or later to be installed. It does not work
with ModusToolbox 2.x, 3.0, or 3.1.
This extension works best if the 'clangd' extension is installed to manage Intellisense. The
default Microsoft support for 'C/C++' intellisense does not work as well.
