About the exporters

Note: Note that exporters to export your code to various third party tools and IDEs are no longer supported. See this blog post for more details.

Use the Arm Mbed exporters to export your code to various third party tools and IDEs. Each exporter implements a generate function that produces an IDE specific project file. Exporters benefit from Mbed build tools. However, instead of using your source and config data to create an executable, we use that information to populate an IDE project file that will be configured to build, flash and debug your code.

Arm Mbed CLI command

usage: mbed export [-h] [-i IDE] [-m TARGET] [--source SOURCE] [-c] [-S] [-v]

  -m TARGET, --target TARGET
                        Export for target MCU. Example: K64F, NUCLEO_F401RE,
