 # sample-workspace
 
 A sample workspace for a project based on macchina.io IoT Edge Device SDK.
-Configuration file for Visual Studio code are included.
+This can be used as a template for your own projects.
+The workspace includes the macchina.io IoT Edge SDK sources via a Git submodule.
+The workspace includes one sample project, a simple implementation of a
+temperature sensor based on the Linux Thermal subsystem (`/sys/class/thermal`).
+
+## Visual Studio Code
+
+Configuration files for Visual Studio Code are included in the workspace.
+The following Visual Studio Code extensions should be installed:
+  - C/C++ (required)
+  - C++ Intellisense (highly recommended)
+  - CodeLLDB (required on macOS for debugging)
+
+The following tasks have been defined in [tasks.json](.vscode/tasks.json):
+  - Build all: Builds the entire workspace using the global Makefile.
+  - Clean all: Cleans the entire workspace.
+  - Build single project: Builds a single project. The project's Makefile must be selected.
+  - Clean single project: Cleans a single project. The project's Makefile must be selected.
+  - RemoteGen: Runs the Remoting code generator. A RemoteGen.xml configuration file must be selected.
+
+Launch configurations for debugging via gdb (on Linux) and lldb (on macOS) are also included.
