Could this be used to do firmware development on Pi? One thing I’ve always hated was having to either SSH and use vim, or login directly to the Pi and use an IDE directly on it.

I would love to use my main mac + VS Code to edit code and dispatch commands like compile / run

I've done this exact setup (though not for firmware development). VS Code C/C++ extension also supports arm64 as well (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/visual-studio-code-c-...). This works well with remote ssh.

Thank you! I'm going to give it a try, sounds like it could be perfect for me to finally get deeper into firmware development. Just can't stand working directly on the Pi.

VSCode install processes to support remote editing. I think PI is supported, but I know it had issues with certain architectures last year. Its very easy to try though.

It is, I have used it and it works great on a pi3.
