Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository! The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community.
Moderation
Every version of each package undergoes a rigorous moderation process before it goes live that typically includes:
- Security, consistency, and quality checking
- Installation testing
- Virus checking through VirusTotal
- Human moderators who give final review and sign off
More detail at Security and Moderation.
Organizational Use
If you are an organization using Chocolatey, we want your experience to be fully reliable. Due to the nature of this publicly offered repository, reliability cannot be guaranteed. Packages offered here are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to the official locations to download files at runtime.
Fortunately, distribution rights do not apply for internal use. With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

Edit Package
To edit the metadata for a package, please upload an updated version of the package.
Chocolatey's Community Package Repository currently does not allow updating package metadata on the website. This helps ensure that the package itself (and the source used to build the package) remains the one true source of package metadata.
This does require that you increment the package version.
All Checks are Passing
2 Passing Test
To install vscode-cortex-debug (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade vscode-cortex-debug (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall vscode-cortex-debug (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
- Download the Package Download
- Follow manual internalization instructions
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run
choco download vscode-cortex-debug --internalize --source=https://chocolatey.org/api/v2
(additional options) - Run
choco push --source="'http://internal/odata/repo'"
for package and dependencies - Automate package internalization
- Run
3. Enter your internal repository url
(this should look similar to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2)
4. Choose your deployment method:
choco upgrade vscode-cortex-debug -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade vscode-cortex-debug -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

Cortex Debug
Debugging support for ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers with the following features:
- Support J-Link, OpenOCD GDB Server
- Partial support for PyOCD and textane/stlink (st-util) GDB Servers (SWO can only be captured via a serial port)
- Initial support for the Black Magic Probe (This has not been as heavily tested; SWO can only be captured via a serial port)
- Cortex Core Register Viewer
- In some cases the st-util GDB server can report incomplete/incorrect registers, so there may be some issues here.
- Peripheral Register Viewer (Defined through standard SVD file)
- SWO Decoding - "console" text output and binary data (signed and unsigned 32-bit integers, Q16.16 fixed point integers, single percision floating point values)
- The registers that are part of the DWT, TPIU, and ITM debug components will automatically be configured and do not need to be set in firmware.
- Firmware may still need to enable the SWO output pin - as this part of the setup is microcontroller dependant.
- Decoding ETM data over the SWO pin is not currently supported.
- Support for Custom ITM Data Decoders:
- Ability to define JavaScript modules to decode complex data formats streamed over one or more ITM ports. Data can be printed to a output window, or sent to the graphing system.
- Live graphing of decoded ITM data.
- Raw Memory Viewer ("Cortex-Debug: View Memory" command)
- Ability to view and step through the disassembled binary. There are three ways that disassembled code will be shown:
- Disassembly code will automatically be shown if it cannot locate the corresponding source code.
- You can manually see the disassembly for a particular function ("Cortex-Debug: View Disassembly (Function)" command)
- You can set the debugger to always show show disassembly ("Cortex-Debug: Set Force Disassembly" command)
- Globals and Static scopes in the variables view
- Initial support for Rust code (most functionality is working; disassembly views and variables view may still have issues)
- RTOS Support (J-Link and OpenOCD - RTOS supported depends on GDB server support)
- As a general rule do not try to use stepping instructions before the scheduler of your RTOS has started - in many cases this tends to crash the GDB servers or leave it in an inconsistent state.
Planned Features
- Additional Graphing Options
- Enhanced SVD Auto-selection
- Semihosting Support
Installation
Requirements:
- ARM GCC Toolchain (https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads) - provides arm-none-eabi-gdb and related tools
- At least one of:
- J-Link Software Tools - provides the J-Link GDB Server for J-Link based debuggers (https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink)
- OpenOCD - provides a GDB Server that can be used with a number of debuggers (http://openocd.org)
- NOTE: On macOS do not use the default version of OpenOCD provided by homebrew, this is not compatible with releases V0.2.4 and newer. You can either install from source using homebrew (
brew install open-ocd --HEAD
) or the packages from https://github.com/gnu-mcu-eclipse/openocd/releases will also work. Some linux versions and Windows may also need a more up-to-date version of OpenOCD from the gnu-mcu-eclipse releases.
- NOTE: On macOS do not use the default version of OpenOCD provided by homebrew, this is not compatible with releases V0.2.4 and newer. You can either install from source using homebrew (
- Texane's st-util GDB server - Only supports ST-Link Debug Probes (https://github.com/texane/stlink)
- pyOCD GDB Server - GDB server that supports the CMSIS-DAP debugger on a number of mbed boards (https://github.com/mbedmicro/pyOCD)
- Black Magic Probe

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
