mbed OS 5 Source Library

Is there going to be an mbed OS 5 equivalent of the mbed-dev library? I use the source library in my projects so that I can tweak things, and take advantage of faster bug fixes.

Hi Neil - You can fork https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os with your personal account and import from your URL to work from source. There will be some more docs coming around development, branching and release model that you'll want to be aware of so for now give it a go and see how it works for you.

Thanks Sam, that seems to work, albeit less convenient than the old way since you have to manually sync the forked repository with the main repository to stay up to date.

Actually the main reason I'm using the source library is to disable the debugging code using NDEBUG. I wouldn't mind using the pre-built library if it had a way to do this too. Maybe a debug/release toggle in the online compiler?

Will get to this one day... Hopefully soon :)

So, now 10 months on - where are the promised "more docs coming around development, branching and release model" ?

Is there a proper way to import the source of the mbed-os library yet?

Good question. Right now I am trying to pull down the sources from Github and push back up to the online compiler but the importer hates a *lot* of files and I am having to do a few at a time. I would like to see an mbed-os-dev lib myself.

+1 for mbed-os-dev
