This guide explains how to set up Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for remote development on a Raspberry Pi using SSH. This setup allows you to develop IoT and embedded projects directly on the Raspberry Pi while maintaining the comfort of your local development environment.

VS Code Remote Development on Raspberry Pi

Overview​

Remote development on Raspberry Pi offers several advantages:

  • Direct hardware access: Work with GPIO, sensors, and peripherals directly
  • Consistent environment: Use your local VS Code setup with Pi's resources
  • Efficient development: No need to transfer files manually
  • Real-time testing: Test embedded applications in the target environment

Prerequisites​

  • Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi OS installed
  • Local machine with VS Code
  • Network connection between both devices
  • Basic familiarity with SSH and command line
