Software/VS Code Remote Development on SBC/README.md

# VS Code

Use VS code on host machine with remote SSH plugin to evelop and run code directly on the SBC using the WiFi radio

## SBC IP address

The SBC needs to be in the same subnet as the host machine

There are many ways to find the IP addres of the SBC
- TODO: I want to display the IP address of the interfaces on the microcontroller interface
- On the router find out the DHCP assignment
- Use the debug serial interface TTYS0 connect with putty and find the address with the command ```ip a```

## VS Code Host

Use Remote SSH extension

You are now connected to the SBC and can do remote development and launch applications directly on the SBC from the host
