There is not much configuration that needs to be done, however in order to get IntelliSense and pretty colors, some work needs to be done.

Recommended Plugins

• C/C++ (for intellisense and pretty colors)
• ARM (for pretty colors on your assembly files)
• LinkerScript (for useful link.ld suggestions)

IntelliSense Configurations

In order for the include folder to be properly used as an include path, ensure that in your c_cpp_properties.json file, include/** has been added into the includePath array.

For example:

"includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**",
                "include/**"
            ],
