Where is mBed OS 5?
Hello;
I am using mBed online compiler and i couldn't find mBed OS 5 by "Import Library...-> From Library Wizard..." on the right click menu.
If i am correct; mBed OS 5 is located here: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/ and it cames by "mbed-os-example-blinky" with the name "mbed-os".
But when i tried to create an empty project and add this by importing library by "Import Library...-> From Library Wizard...", i couldn't find any library ecxept "mbed" which is located in https://developer.mbed.org/users/mbed_official/code/mbed/ . I think this is mBed 2.0.
Could you please help me to import mBed OS 5 from import wizard?
Sorry for asking this stupid question instead of reading cookbooks, handbooks and api references of version 2.0, 3.0 and 5.0 which are superseded by at least one another. Whenever i were to look the documentation, soon after i find myself trying to produce electricity from a lemon. :D

Hi Ahmet,
Sorry for these issues you are having, it may have not been very clear.
Indeed the link to "mbed" is the mbed-classic 2.0 library.
To use mbed-os you can use the github repo as you found. You instead now use 'import from URL' in the online IDE and this will then pull in the mbed-os library!
Easy mistake to make. :)
All the best,
Andrea, team mbed
This is indeed very confusing. Why is not possible to use the same way and just selecting mbed OS2 or OS5 in the import list? Or as an option on creating a new program?
posted by 24 Jun 2017Hello, also having trouble finding the mbed library.
It would appear that my old project no longer compiles with the existing mbed library that was imported into it.
So I cloned my project, deleted the mbed library out of it, and now want to add the newest mbed library back into it. If I click on "import", then click the "libararies" tab and then type in "mbed" in the search bar and then click "search" I am faced with 36 pages of results, which would likely take about an hour to look through since the site is so slow.
What page of the search results is the mbed library on? Is there really no way to import it other than by sifting through 36 pages of libraries and hoping that you select the correct one?
