While it is possible to set up a successful build and debug environment using VS 2019, setting up the VS Code environment first is highly recommended. First set up a working build environment with VS Code (Recommended) There are some tools provided to automate this process. As an alternative we have been using the Windows SUBST command to access the source via ashorted drive mapped path. The previous workaround for this was to place your source in a top-level directory. Sometimes CMake will complain about this, or you may get seemingly random failed builds. The very long file names used in the ChibiOS builds can result in exceeding the Windows 250 character path limit.
#CONFIGURE EXTERNAL BUILD SEGGER EMBEDDED STUDIO UPDATE#
In this update we will use the ESP32 as our example, for STM32 specific information refer to the VS2017 section.

The development process described below for VS2017 was initially focused on the STM32/ChibiOS target, with the Espressif ESP32 added later. Developing firmware for the nanoframework using Visual Studio 2019 community edition There are available ready to flash firmware images for several targets, please check the Home repository. If your goal is to code in C# you just have to flash your MCU with the appropriate firmware image. You only need to build it if you plan to debug the native code, add new targets or add new features at native level.
