Viewing the mbed.h API in the online Complier?

23 Aug 2012

Sorry if this is a silly question but when I first started programming my mbed I was able to view the mbed.h API from the on-line complier.

More recently I have found that I can no longer view the library from the compiler and the page and tree are blank (I know you can still read the documentation for mbed.h from the handbook). What I'd like to know is if this is due to some sort of update and if/how it is possible to get back the ability to view it from the compiler?

Thank you

Hi Alex Dawn,

The change is a result of the changes made for the collaboration release (which you can read about here). We are planning to make it so the documentation is visible in the compiler again, but in the meantime you can find the documentation for the mbed libraries in the handbook.

Thanks Steve,

I wondered if it was due to some update but I couldn't find any information about the change.

Cheers!

Hi Alex Dawn,

We have restored the API documentation for the mbed library and added more features to complement it:

  • API documentation generation for unpublished, published and modified libraries and programs
  • structured API documentation browsing inside the Compiler IDE in an IDE-friendly way with documentation divided into Classes, Structs, Files and Groups
  • references to source/header file definitions and defines that allow quick jumps to the source files from the documentation itself
  • ability to quickly create new files with API documentation examples

If you are curious about it then follow the mbed blog where we are going to officially announce the release and add a reference or a guide that review the features in detail.
