info

In offline mode, deviations and audit records are stored locally. When you reconnect and sign in, your full audit history becomes attributable to your account identity.

Bundled Toolchain​

TrinovaQ Studio ships with all required development tools bundled — no separate installation is needed for the core toolchain:

  • GCC (C compiler for embedded targets, including AVR and ARM support)
  • cppcheck (MISRA C:2012 static analyzer)

These tools are automatically detected and used when you compile or scan your project. If you have additional toolchain installations on your system, you can configure their paths in Settings.

Optional: Rust Support​

For Rust projects, rustc (the Rust compiler) must be installed separately:

  1. Install Rust from rustup.rs
  2. Follow the Windows installation instructions for rustup
  3. After installation, TrinovaQ Studio will automatically detect rustc

You can verify Rust detection in Settings → Tool Availability.

Verifying the Installation​

Once signed in, verify your installation is working correctly:

  1. Open a project folder using File → Open Folder (or Ctrl+O)

  2. Select or create a folder containing a .c or .rs source file

  3. Open the file in the editor — syntax highlighting should appear immediately

  4. Open the terminal panel at the bottom and type:

    help

    You should see a list of available commands.

  5. Run a quick tool check:

    scan

    If cppcheck is detected correctly, a static analysis pass will run on the active file.
