Hi Adrian,

We did have a compiler outage at around this time, it should be back now, sorry for the issues.

Let me know if everything is ok for you now.

Regards,

Andrea, team mbed

This is becoming more and more of an issue...I trust you are looking into it and trying to come up with a fix.

I have been running an International Summer School School at a UK University this morning. 25 students from around the world doing a robotics activity and it turned into a disaster as they couldn't compile the code. It gives such a bad impression.

The new academic year starts in September. Hopefully the situation has improved by then or else I'll have to find a more reliable platform. I cannot let the students have such a poor experience, it really does put them off embedded systems/programming etc.

Hi Craig,

I can understand your frustrations can only apologise, i will escalate this. I understand its also not ideal, have you looked at using one of our offline options such as mbed CLI to compile code? Our offline options will not be affected by such problems.

All code repositories are still available. That means you can use mbed CLI during this time to continue your work. mbed CLI is the tool behind the online compiler that we use for compiling your programs. Using mbed CLI you can trivially move programs between your online repos and offline for development. To bring your code down to your computer simply run mbed import <URL of Program> and the code will be pulled down to your computer. You can use mbed CLI with windows, OSX or Linux, the compilers for GCC, IAR and Keil are all supported, and if you're interested there is even anmbed export` option that will let you export your program to Keil, IAR, Eclipse and many other IDE's. In addition mbed CLI works with both mercurial (developer.mbed.org) and git repos (github.com).

Here is the getting started with mbed CLI YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiVCejcvpseuWWmJc9uELYww-xindjZCH

Here is the full documentation for mbed CLI : https://docs.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os-handbook/en/5.1/dev_tools/cli/

Let me know if that helps.

I would also maybe suggest looking at using an offline IDE such as KEIL uVision with the mbed programs, these can easily be exported to this IDE via our website.

If you wish to discuss this further please write to me at support@mbed.org

Andrea, team mbed
