Zephyr Workbench: Open Source Zephyr Extension for VSCode
summary
Zephyr Workbench is an open source VS Code extension that claims to automate Zephyr setup on Windows and Linux via a Z installer script, manage West workspaces, import Zephyr SDKs, and give reproducible builds. It offers one-click flashing and debugging (OpenOCD, J-Link, PyOCD, STLink, Linkserver) with automatic pack downloads where possible, CPPTools-based debug and SVD support, multibuild and RAM/ROM/SPDX reports, and a built-in Zazu simulator (Renode) for board‑less debugging; project and docs live on GitHub.
