VSCode Nios II command shell

Has anyone tried and successfully enabled the Nios II Command Shell in Microsoft VSCode?

    I'm back! Ok, to get the build environment (somewhat) integrated into VSCode, the secret is: Launch "code" from the Nios II Command Shell. That way, the path to "make" is known, and the right shell is launched during the build.

    I think these items are needed in the settings for the "Makefile Tools" extension:

    If the Makefile is not in the root of the folder, you'll have to tell the extension where it is using setting in the same section shown in the image above.

    Now I have clickable links:

    That was pretty easy. Just needed better googling skils.

    Next, anyone know how to integrate the "make" build into VSCode? Just the simple terminal integration doesn't provide clickable links to errors/warnings.

    Hi,


    May I know also the Quartus/Nios II version that you used?


    Also, do you have any further questions/help needed?
