Compiling the code

1. Get the code

   After the installation of Mbed CLI is complete, import the example by opening a command-line shell and entering:

   $ mbed import https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-blinky
   $ cd mbed-os-example-blinky
   

2. Compile and program your board:

   Invoke mbed compile, and specify the name of your platform and your installed toolchain (GCC_ARM, ARM, IAR). For example, for the K64F platform and Arm Compiler 5 toolchain:

   $ mbed compile --target K64F --toolchain ARM --flash
   

   The --flash argument automatically flashes the compiled program onto your board if it is connected to your computer.

   Tip: You can get the name of the board plugged into your computer by running mbed detect, and you can get a full list of supported toolchains and targets by running the mbed compile --supported command.

   Note: To build with the Mbed OS bare metal profile, add "requires": ["bare-metal"] to the mbed_app.json file:

      {
          "requires": ["bare-metal"],
          "target_overrides": {
              "*": {
   

3. Press the board's reset button. The LED blinks.
