USBCDC example

Hello!

A few months ago, I bought a nucleo_f746zg board. Today I tried to compile the "oficial" example https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/v5.13/apis/usbcdc.html#usbcdc-example

  1. include "mbed.h"
  2. include "USBCDC.h"

USBCDC cdc;

int main(void) {

while(1) { char msg[] = "Hello world\r\n"; cdc.send((uint8_t*)msg, strlen(msg)); wait(1.0); } }

Compilation is failed. In vs-code i have this error: /home/nikitos/.platformio/packages/framework-mbed/features/unsupported/USBDevice/USBSerial/USBCDC.h:29:7: note: candidate expects 1 argument, 0 provided src/main.cpp: In function 'int main()': src/main.cpp:11:44: error: 'bool USBCDC::send(uint8_t*, uint32_t)' is protected within this context cdc.send((uint8_t*)msg, strlen(msg)); ^ In file included from src/main.cpp:2:0: /home/nikitos/.platformio/packages/framework-mbed/features/unsupported/USBDevice/USBSerial/USBCDC.h:80:10: note: declared protected here bool send(uint8_t * buffer, uint32_t size); ^~~ * [.pio/build/nucleo_f746zg/src/main.o] Error 1

In online compiler i have a error to: Error: Cannot open source input file "USBCDC.h": No such file or directory in "main.cpp", Line: 2, Col: 21

What am I doing wrong? how to make official examples work?

Do you use Mbed OS 5 latest revision(as of today 5.13.0)?
I can compile the source code below without error message.
I cannot check the program due to lack of Nucleo-F746ZG board.
Please use <<code>> .... <</code>> for program source code.

#include "mbed.h"
#include "USBCDC.h"

USBCDC cdc;

int main(void)
{
    while(true) {
        char msg[] = "Hello world\r\n";
        cdc.send((uint8_t*)msg, strlen(msg));
        ThisThread::sleep_for(1000);
    }
}

// not so important!
#if (MBED_MAJOR_VERSION == 5) &&\
    (MBED_MINOR_VERSION == 13) &&\
    (MBED_PATCH_VERSION == 0)
// correct mbed-os version
#else
#error "Please use Mbed-os5.13.0"
#endif

Dear Kenji Arai many thanks for your help. After your comment, I re-read all the documentation about the ofline compiler. To my great regret, I did not understand the difference between the process of building the application in the platformio (https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/frameworks/mbed.html), and the native method from mbed documentation. I configured the toolchain according to the documentation and all my problems disappeared. Thanks again for the help.
