If you're installing from pip3 - you are probably on your own. Anything you
install from pip, you generally have to debug by yourself.

Are the banana pi m5's or the Robin Nano _actually_ running Debian?
If they're not, and running Armbian or similar: you're once again on your
own and will need to ask their support channels.

The Debian wiki is your friend here for Visual Studio. 
https://wiki.debian.org/VisualStudioCode

It's a very popular development environment but it comes from Microsoft -
so once again, you may be on your own. I would strongly suggest using
the simple .deb package rather than snapd or flatpak. It is also
available for arm64 and armhf (probably built for Ubuntu), but, as ever
your mileage may vary.
