During my classes at WRUST (Wrocław University of Science and Technology), I teach about Robot Controllers where most of the course related to embedded systems is centred around STM32 ecosystem. For quite some time, STM32CubeIDE software was used there. However, the version that is being used there is quite old (1.4.0). The newer versions of the software offer a lot of new features that are useful during debugging. On the other hand, any newer version than 1.4.0 has issues with remote debugging, which is a core part of RemoteLab. Fortunately enough, there is a good substitution that connects both words: new features and operational robustness. The solution is based on VS Code and uses cmake as a project build tool.
