## Integrating the Toolchain
Visual Studio Code provides the [Tasks](https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/tasks) interface for integrating external tools. To use the Maxim SDK toolchain via Tasks, the toolchain binaries must be made accessible from the command line. Additionally, the correct board and peripheral driver files for a target platform must be loaded for compilation and source code development. When those conditions are met, then Tasks can be created to conveniently implement the features that you would expect from an IDE: building, cleaning, flashing, and debugging.

[VSCode-Maxim](https://github.com/MaximIntegratedTechSupport/VSCode-Maxim) handles this for you and offers simple, clear configuration options for changing the target platform. It leverages the fact that VS Code will look for a `.vscode` folder inside of its working directory to load settings from. The `.vscode` folder in the repo makes the toolchain accessible from the integrated terminal and contains the core Tasks for use with a project Makefile. It also configures the debugger and Intellisense properly.

Let's get started setting it up. The procedure below is a demonstration for the MAX32670EVKIT, but the same procedure can apply to all micros.
