sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 1 # Getting started with Blinky on mbed OS
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 2
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 3 This is a very simple guide, reviewing the steps required to get Blinky working on an mbed OS platform.
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 4
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 5 Please install [mbed CLI](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli#installing-mbed-cli).
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 6
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 7 ## Get the example application!
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 8
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 9 From the command line, import the example:
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 10
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 11 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 12 mbed import mbed-os-example-blinky
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 13 cd mbed-os-example-blinky
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 14 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 15
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 16 ### Now compile
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 17
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 18 Invoke `mbed compile` specifying the name of your platform and your favorite toolchain (`GCC_ARM`, `ARM`, `IAR`). For example, for the ARM Compiler 5:
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 19
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 20 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 21 mbed compile -m K64F -t ARM
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 22 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 23
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 24 Your PC may take a few minutes to compile your code. At the end you should get the following result:
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 25
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 26 ```

sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 82 ## Troubleshooting
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 83
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 84 1. Make sure `mbed-cli` is working correctly and its version is greater than `0.8.9`
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 85
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 86 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 87 mbed --version
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 88 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 89
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 90 If not, you can update it easily:
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 91
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 92 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 93 pip install mbed-cli --upgrade
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 94 ```
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 95
sarahmarshy 0:115f10501f59 96 2. If using Keil MDK, make sure you have a license installed. [MDK-Lite](http://www.keil.com/arm/mdk.asp) has a 32KB restriction on code size.
