Undefined symbol error when exporting from mbed to Keil µvision
Hi,
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but every program I export from the mbed compiler to µvision gives me tons of errors. The errors are always of the same kind. They are "Undefined symbol errors". I even get these on a simple blinky program. Here is what I get on the mbed blinky:

I got beta enabled, using Nucleo_blink_led, latest mbed library. Export to uvision , build - OK in Uvision5.
No matter if I export it from the compiler or from the repository, it will not build. I get the same errors over and over again. How do I enable beta? And what exactly do I need to do to get the latest mbed library?

beta: https://developer.mbed.org/betamode/
And update : click on mbed library in your online IDE, rught button mouse, Update, should be v106
posted by 03 Sep 2015Hi Martin and Tijl, I've just run some tests. If you use the Compiled mbed libraries then the error is recreated as you've found Tijl to Uvision v5 If you use the mbed-src libraries and export then Uvision works! Interestingly when Exporting the Nucleo F401RE it exports as a STM32F401RCx ? I would for now use the mbed-src and not the mbed when exporting Hope this helps Martin
posted by 03 Sep 2015The latest update I can get for the mbed library is v91. I am in beta mode so I don't know why it doesn't want to update to v106. I have restarted my online IDE. http://i.imgur.com/vfcthXr.jpg

@Tijl , click on mbed there, then choose update. The screen shows the revision of the example, not mbed library.
@MartinSimpson Ah that's interesting, something wrong with the library? Although this report is probably for older version library.. Something to investigate
posted by 03 Sep 2015Hi Martin S.,
The source library almost compiles for me. The only error that I get is:
.\build\mbed-src.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol $Super$$main (referred from retarget.o).
Any idea where this comes from?
I guess the reason the exported program does not compile is because µvision can't handle the .ar files well. And as many recources µvision needs are in here it fails to compile.
posted by 03 Sep 2015@Martin Simpson, It was my fault, I forgot to add a main file.
@Martin Kojtal, Even after updating the mbed library to the latest build it gives me the same errors. But I am almost there getting it to work with the mbed-src library.
posted by 03 Sep 2015I think it works with the mbed-src export. It doesn't want to link with a main program because I exceeded my code limit.
Anyway thanks very much for all of your time and help!!!
