sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 2 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 3 | This is a very simple guide, reviewing the steps required to get Blinky working on an mbed OS platform. |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 4 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 5 | Please install [mbed CLI](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli#installing-mbed-cli). |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 6 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 7 | ## Get the example application! |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 8 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 9 | From the command line, import the example: |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 10 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 11 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 12 | mbed import mbed-os-example-blinky |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 13 | cd mbed-os-example-blinky |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 14 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 15 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 16 | ### Now compile |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 17 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 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 | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 19 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 20 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 21 | mbed compile -m K64F -t ARM |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 22 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 23 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 24 | Your PC may take a few minutes to compile your code. At the end you should get the following result: |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 25 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 26 | ``` |

sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 47 | ### Program your board |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 48 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 49 | 1. Connect your mbed device to the computer over USB. |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 50 | 1. Copy the binary file to the mbed device . |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 51 | 1. Press the reset button to start the program. |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 52 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 53 | You should see the LED of your platform turning on and off. |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 54 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 55 | Congratulations if you managed to complete this test! |

sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 66 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 67 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 68 | Successful exports: |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 69 | * K64F::uvision .\projectfiles\uvision_K64F\Unnamed_Project |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 70 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 71 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 72 | To debug the application: |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 73 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 74 | 1. Start uVision. |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 75 | 1. Import the uVision project generated earlier. |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 76 | 1. Compile your application and generate an `.axf` file. |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 77 | 1. Make sure uVision is configured to debug over CMSIS-DAP (From the Project menu > Options for Target '...' > Debug tab > Use CMSIS-DAP Debugger). |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 78 | 1. Set breakpoints and start a debug session. |

sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 82 | ## Troubleshooting |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 83 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 84 | 1. Make sure `mbed-cli` is working correctly and its version is greater than `0.8.9` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 85 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 86 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 87 | mbed --version |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 88 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 89 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 90 | If not, you can update it easily: |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 91 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 92 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 93 | pip install mbed-cli --upgrade |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 94 | ``` |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 95 | |
sarahmarshy | 0:04fa7fb0681e | 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. |
