Simulator in VSCode

If you encounter problems the first time you run the simulator in VSCode, please check the following configurations in your development environment:

Installing the appropriate version of the toolchain

Simulator in VSCode using MinGW toolchain (refer to section 3.1 in Get Started), and MinGW version 8.1.0 is recommended, which can be accessed from MinGW v8.1.0 Download. There is no guarantee that all later versions of the MinGW will function properly.

Known issues: VSCode currently does not support gdb version higher than v9.2.0 in MinGW. (gdb v8.1 is used in MinGW v8.1.0, which is recommended.)

Adding toolchain to system environment variables

Make sure C:/mingw64/bin is already added to system environment variable Path.
