The extension is now available on the marketplace. Just search for MD407. Please use that version over github releases.
Install the extension from the releases page, along with SimServer from gbgmv.se.
You install extensions in Visual Studio Code by hitting Ctrl + Shift + P
and typing Install from VSIX
.
Linux users need to add their user to the dialout
group or equivalent and reboot (really reboot, for once logging out and in again is not enough). The equivalent on Arch is uucp
.
Open VSC in an empty folder and hit Ctrl + Shift + P
and type Create new project from Basic template
. Then enter your project name.
You can now run the default program in SimServer by opening SimServer, then going to the debugging tab, selecting your project and hitting the green arrow.
You can also run the default program on Hardware by going to the MD407 Config tab (added by the extension), selecting the port under the ports section and then hitting Interactive
, Compile
and Load
in order and then typing go
in the now opened terminal. Remember to reset the MD407 between runs. MacOS requires resets between load and go
.

Copy the Basic
folder into your project. Run make build
to build your project. Do simserver debugging directly in gdb. TUI mode is recommended (tui enable
), though it's only available on Linux. The gdbinit
file is provided to automatically run the commands to connect to SimServer.
To communicate with the hardware, the md407_win_rs
program is provided. Either download it from the releases page or compile it yourself and install with cargo-install
like any other Rust program. On linux you either need to run it as root or add yourself to the dialout
group.
Note that while GCC 11 is out, there are issues with it
