VS Code Simulator Plugin

In our basic education in computer organization and computer architecture we use the RISC-V instruction set architecture to teach the fundamentals of machine programming. We want to make it as accessible as possible for our students to use a programming environment, without fiddling with cross-compilers. The Venus simulator is a nice browser-based simulator that we have used a lot. But we wanted to provide it in an established IDE running locally on the students computers and thereby decided to integrate the Venus simulator into Visual Studio Code, as a standalone extension.

You can find the extension on the VS Code marketplace, in VS Code directly or on Github.
