I use VSCode and PlatformIO for Pokitto.
There were some teething problems early on, but after relocating one or two files I have absolutely no issues and setting up a project is just a matter of copy-pasting and renaming a folder.
It’s much easier to use than EmBitz because you don’t have to go fiddling with target settings.
I’ve recently updated and it rise again the problem with c++11
That’s a major selling point for me, together with easy lib update
But I’d like to debug the code with break point, step execution, watch windows etc etc.
Is there a guide for that?
Give me a moment to remember how to fix that.
I’m reasonably confident I had to edit a file somewhere in \.platformio\packages\framework-mbed\.
Edit:
Could you post the contents of your \.platformio\packages\framework-mbed\platformio\variants\LPC11U68\LPC11U68.json file?
I’ve got a feeling that might be the one.
I haven’t been able to get that working yet.
Every time I try to use the Cortext plugin it says “Couldn’t find a compatible version of Cortex-Debug with this version of Code.”, so I need to get round to updating my VSCode install.
I remember using these things with the Cortex plugin and that it was relatively easy to setup. Two caveats: everything in VSCode is configured by editing JSON files (less intuitive than a nice UI, but easier than emacs’ lisp), and you’ll get much better results if you’re compiling with -O0 and -g (or was it -ggdb).
I stopped using graphical debuggers since most of the time I use -O3 and need to see the disassembly. Command-line GDB was the only thing that didn’t fall apart with my weird code. 
I’ve already fixed as the last time thanks anyway.
So this should work also with your emulator? Enabling gdb?
Could I deploy/upload directly to the emulator from vscode?
Should I open a new Thread to query the current state of the development tools? I feel actually there are different approach to code for Pokitto right now.
Didn’t notice that.
That would have saved me a few minutes of searching. :P
There’s:
I don’t know if there’s an ‘official’ IDE, but I tihnk we ought to be heading down the PlatformIO route.
It has a lot of positives and very few negatives.
I can confirm it works with C++11
I’d like it would be only one 
I like Visual Studio, vscode is close enough on capabilities, I’m only missing the debugger right now.
