QNX Toolkit for Visual Studio Code
This User's Guide describes the QNX Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. The guide introduces you to the QNX Toolkit by explaining the QNX development environment and how to build, run, and debug your QNX OS applications and systems.
- About the QNX Toolkit
- Using the Target Navigator
  The QNX development environment consists of a host and a target machine.
  - Managing targets
    You can create targets in QNX Toolkit using the Target Navigator. When you create a target, you can either connect to a QNX target, or create a QNX virtual machine target.
  - Remote file system operations
    - File operations
      The VS Code file system Explorer can provide read and write access to target file systems. With this access, you can perform standard file operations such as creating files and folders, and using cut, copy, and paste.
- Developing QNX Projects
  To use the QNX Toolkit to write applications targeted for QNX OS systems, you must define projects, which are folders in the filesystem. A VS Code workspace is a collection of these folders and VS Code settings defined by the .code-workspace file. QNX projects are saved to a folder defined in a your configuration (default location is ~/qnxprojects).
- Debugging and Launching
- Using the System Profiler
  You can use the System Profiler to render different types of trace analysis, such as graphs and tables.
- References
  The reference topics provide information about QNX Toolkit features and workflows that isn't covered in the other chapters.
- Glossary
  To make best use of the QNX Toolkit, we recommend that you become familiar with the following terms, which are used throughout the user interface and documentation.
- Typographical Conventions, Support, and Licensing
  This section describes the typographical conventions used throughout the documentation and explains how to obtain technical support.

Remote file system operations

Updated: November 27, 2023

You can mount the remote filesystem in the VS Code Workspace. Once mounted, you have read and write access to the target filesystem from within VS Code. You can perform standard file operations on mounted files, such as cut, copy, paste, delete, and rename. You can also connect to remote cloud targets. Go to File operations for details.
