Tips and tricks
This chapter contains useful information to help you solve specific issues.
Create vcpkg configuration file
If your solution does not contain the vcpkg-configuration.json
, right-click anywhere in the workspace and select
Configure Arm Tools Environment. The Arm Tools Environment Manager extension then generates this file.
Set current solution in workspace
To activate a solution in the Solution outline view, use the Select Active Solution from workspace option in
Views and More Actions .
Documentation does not open
If you are using a Linux machine that uses the Snap package manager, your web browser will not be able to open
documentation that is shipped in CMSIS-Packs as the CMSIS_PACK_ROOT
directory is in ${HOME}/.cache/arm/packs
which
is not accessible to Snaps. Likewise, the Keil Studio help is located in ${HOME}/.vscode/extensions
which is also not
available.
To get this working, use a browser that is not installed as a Snap package:
-
Uninstall the Snap package. For example, run
sudo snap remove firefox
in a Terminal window. -
Download the installer from the browser's web site.
-
Install it on your machine.
