IAR Systems presented Visual Studio Code extensions for IAR Systems embedded software development solutions. Now available at Visual Studio Code Marketplace, these extensions enable developers to work in Visual Studio Code while at the same time taking advantage of the powerful capabilities of the IAR Systems' software solutions specialized in embedded systems. For many years, IAR Systems and Azure RTOS have delivered the higher level of product integration, including the Azure RTOS ThreadX kernel integration in the IAR Embedded Workbench debugger. This debugger integration with Microsoft's Embedded Tools extension includes the ability to view all Azure RTOS ThreadX objects, set thread-specific breakpoints, view suspended thread's call stacks, and view the unique execution profile and performance monitoring features in Azure RTOS ThreadX.

The new IAR Systems' extensions bring the same high level and integration capabilities to the Visual Studio Code community. In addition, this gives IoT developers a seamless development experience from prototyping to delivered product, enabling a fully GitHub-based automated development workflow.
