Hi,

  I followed the directions to create an empty project in VSCode. I picked my device, an F405RGT6, and the extension did what it did. Now what? The docs end there. If I launch MX from inside VSCode, MX wants an ioc file; there isn't one to find. What shall I do? Thanks.

If you want to work with CubeMX, then start in CubeMX and use it to create the project.

Creating a blank project assumes that you're going to fill in everything yourself, from scratch.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

So I should always start MX first. Thanks.
