How do I see a bin file in a hex editor in Visual Studio Code?

Visual Studio-CodeHex Editors

Visual Studio-Code Problem Overview

I have a bin file holding all my instruction cache and data cache for my Verilog project, and I want to see it as the Notepad++ hex editor shows its meaning, hex representation view. Is there a way to configure this?

Or maybe an extension that provides this functionality?

Solution 1 - Visual Studio-Code

  1. Install this extension: Hexdump for VSCode. It can display a specified file in hexadecimal.

  2. Open the file/image/whatever you want to display in hex mode in Visual Studio Code, then press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + H. That's it.

  3. Or press Ctrl + P then input Show hexdump from path to open a file in hex mode directly.

Solution 2 - Visual Studio-Code

VSCode 1.46 (May 2020) will have its own native Hex Editor extension:

> ## Hex Editor > > With the custom editor API finalized with support for binary editors, we have developed a hex editor extension to provide a native hex editing experience.
