javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 1 # Getting started with Blinky on mbed OS
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 2
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 3 This guide reviews the steps required to get Blinky working on an mbed OS platform.
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 4
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 5 Please install [mbed CLI](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli#installing-mbed-cli).
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 6
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 7 ## Import the example application
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 8
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 9 From the command-line, import the example:
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 10
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 11 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 12 mbed import mbed-os-example-blinky
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 13 cd mbed-os-example-blinky
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 14 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 15
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 16 ### Now compile
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 17
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 18 Invoke `mbed compile`, and specify the name of your platform and your favorite toolchain (`GCC_ARM`, `ARM`, `IAR`). For example, for the ARM Compiler 5:
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 19
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 20 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 21 mbed compile -m K64F -t ARM
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 22 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 23
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 24 Your PC may take a few minutes to compile your code. At the end, you see the following result:
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 25
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 26 ```

javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 55 ## Export the project to Keil MDK, and debug your application
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 56
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 57 From the command-line, run the following command:
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 58
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 59 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 60 mbed export -m K64F -i uvision
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 61 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 62
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 63 To debug the application:
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 64
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 65 1. Start uVision.
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 66 1. Import the uVision project generated earlier.

javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 73 ## Troubleshooting
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 74
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 75 1. Make sure `mbed-cli` is working correctly and its version is `>1.0.0`
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 76
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 77 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 78 mbed --version
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 79 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 80
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 81 If not, you can update it:
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 82
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 83 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 84 pip install mbed-cli --upgrade
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 85 ```
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 86
javiervicente 0:666c8a7f11fe 87 2. If using Keil MDK, make sure you have a license installed. [MDK-Lite](http://www.keil.com/arm/mdk.asp) has a 32 KB restriction on code size.
