Error Stating That RawSerial (or Serial) Don't Have A Write Method

I'm using both a Nucleo-L152RE and a Nucleo-F401E. When I try to use the asynchronous write method, the compiler states "Error: Class "mbed::RawSerial" has no member "write" in "main.cpp", Line: 72, Col: 12". Same error if I switch to Serial. How can I use the asynchronous write method?

TIA, Aram

You can't. It's not supported on anything other than the silicon labs boards.

Hi Andy, thanks for the the information. But shouldn't that be part of the Serial/RawSerial documentation?

I'm implementing an RS-485 half-duplex system, so my ultimate goal is to know when the last byte has been fully transmitted on the serial port. Is there a way to find this out on a Nucleo?

TIA, Aram

The tx interrupt is your best bet for the end of transmission. A library like MODSERIAL will allow async transmit and receive using interrupts in the background.

And yes, the documentation should be a lot clearer, since they added the async functions this issue comes up all the time.
