Hello! To access the screen shown in your screenshot within Visual Studio Code, please follow these steps:

  1. Open Visual Studio Code on your development machine.
  2. Look for the Torizon icon in the left menu bar—this icon is usually located alongside the Explorer, Search, Git, and other sidebar icons.
  3. Click on the Torizon icon. This will open the Torizon extension panel, which will allow you to scan your local network for connected Torizon devices.

Note:

  • Make sure your target Toradex device is powered on and connected to the same local network as your development machine.
  • If your device is not shown, try clicking the Refresh Devices icon in the panel.

Setup prerequisites:

  • You need to have the Torizon IDE Extension installed in Visual Studio Code.
  • Make sure you have downloaded the credentials.zip file and obtained your Torizon Cloud API Client ID and Client Secrets.
  • Configure the Torizon IDE Extension environment as explained in the TorizonCore Builder VS Code integration documentation.

For detailed step-by-step instructions, please refer to the official guide:

Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant.

Is the TorizonCore Builder auxiliary extension also installed?: TorizonCore Builder - Visual Studio Marketplace

It should have been installed alongside the main extension as well. From there you can just create a new project as shown here: Create a Single-Container Project | Toradex Developer Center

The solution is that you need to be in a fresh VSCode window (without a folder open) then click the “explorer” tab and then click “Create Torizon Project”. That is how you get to step 1 of the tutorial.
