SinoIOT Windows IDE

Set up the SinoIOT SDK for SinoWealth SH87F8919 and SH87F8916 boards on Windows in one page: from an empty PC to a flashed, booting board. No administrator rights are needed.

The setup page is in English and 中文 (简体中文): switch at the top right of the page.

What it does

After you install it, a setup page opens. You choose the SDK folder and your board, enter the gitcode username and access token you received from your SinoWealth contact, choose your AI agents (Claude Code is preselected), and click Set up the SDK. Setup then runs by itself (about 15 minutes; you can leave the PC):

1. Installs Git for Windows for your user, if no usable Git is there.
2. Saves your gitcode login in Windows Credential Manager (for the SDK repo only; the token is never written to a file).
3. Downloads the SDK (gitcode.com/sinoiot/sinoiot_sdk).
4. Installs the SDK's build tools (Python, Arm GCC, CMake, Ninja), the debug tools and the Flash Tool, with the SDK's own installer.
5. Installs the AI agents you chose.
6. Restarts VS Code in the SDK folder (click Yes, I trust the authors when VS Code asks) and makes a first build.

Then connect the board, click Select port in the status bar, choose its COM port, click Connect and Flash.

It also installs, as an extension pack: SinoIOT for VS Code (serial terminal, flashing, Agent Access for AI agents), C/C++ Extension Pack, Cortex-Debug and Tasks.

The SinoIOT panel

The SinoIOT icon in the Activity Bar (left) lists the SDK folders set up here and has:

• Set up an SDK
• Update SDK: gets the latest SDK version (stops if you changed SDK files, it never merges)
• Change Gitcode Login: when your token changes
• Copy Setup Report: for your SinoWealth contact if something goes wrong (never contains the token)
• Remove SDK...: a checklist of what to remove

Setup can be cancelled at any time and continues where it stopped.

Requirements

• Windows 10 (version 1903 or later) or Windows 11, x64
• A Windows user name with only English letters and digits (the build tools cannot run from other user folders); otherwise follow the SDK's docs/md/GET_STARTED.md
• 5 GB of free disk space (3 GB on C: and 2 GB on the SDK drive if the SDK is on another drive)
• A gitcode username and access token from your SinoWealth contact (sales, FAE or distributor)

Linux and Windows + WSL2: follow the SDK's docs/md/GET_STARTED.md.

Privacy

The extension talks only to gitcode.com (the SDK and SinoIOT downloads) and the VS Code Marketplace (extensions). It collects no telemetry.
