STM32 project remote debugging with VS Code

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.

There are a couple of things that you need, and of course some configuration of your IDE is needed as well. I will walk you through the main steps that are required to setup everything correctly and start a remote debugging session.
