Install

In Visual Studio Code goto extensions (Shift+Ctrl+X), search for 'chipcode-nl' and install the extension that is suited for your operating system.

The extension has four paths for the toolchain. You can use this in the tasks.json.

arm-none-eabi.bin
arm-none-eabi.include
arm-none-eabi.lib

Here is an example of tasks.json for GNU make.
