== Introduction ==
[https://code.visualstudio.com/ Visual Studio Code] (VSCode for short) is a powerful integrated development environment (IDE). In the last years, it has gotten growing grown in popularity among software developers of any kind, thanks to its excellent flexibility. [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/VSCode Numerous extensions], native git support, availability for all of the most common platforms are some of the features that have made it so successful.
Even though it was not designed for embedded software development specifically, it is so versatile that it can be used for this purpose as well. This application note shows, for instance, how to configure it in order to remotely debug an application running on the Bora/BoraX platform. As host machine, the Virtual Machine released along with the BELK/BXELK kit was used.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with at least one of [[Bora_Embedded_Linux_Kit_(BELK/)|Bora Embedded Linux Kit]] (BELK for short) or [[BoraX_Embedded_Linux_Kit_(BXELK)|BoraX Embedded Linux Kit]] (BXELK kit for short), and with VSCode.
