I know. I thought about that too. But not totally sure how to interact with the particle compilation in Visual Studio (Particle Workbench)…
As far as using the local toolchain, I’ve found this thread: Local build problem: No sources found in but I’m still having some issues to fix… still one step closer probably…
It’s somehow amazing that most people don’t build tests for embedded development, but I guess if the platform was motivating users to do that (providing tools or directions) it would really improve the quality of all devices running on it. Well… I suppose debugging also pays, and possibly even more than the initial coding… that might be the reason the community is not so interested…
