Running Samples in VS Code

Open Sample Applications

Using Visual Studio Code, go to File -> Open Workspace from File... and select the if820_ezserial.code-workspace file.

Run Application

In the Terminal Menu select Run Task

Then select the sample application that you wish to run.

Modify Arguments

Python sample applications typically have a list of arguments that can be passed into the script. Arguments allow different options when running the script.

For example in the if820_flasher_cli.py script, there is an option to perform a full chip erase.

    parser.add_argument('-ce', '--chip_erase', action='store_true',
                        help="perform full chip erase.")

To modify the arguments passed into the script when running the application, open the tasks.json file and modify the "args" section.

        {
            "label": "Flash EZ-Serial [with chip erase]",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/if820_flasher_cli.py",
                "-f",
                "${config:ezserial_firmware}",
                "-ce"
            ],
            "problemMatcher": []
        },
