# Getting started example for Mbed OS
![](./resources/official_armmbed_example_badge.png)
# Blinky Mbed OS example

This guide reviews the steps required to get Blinky with the addition of dynamic OS statistics working on an Mbed OS platform. (Note: To see a rendered example you can import into the Arm Online Compiler, please see our [quick start](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/quick-start/online-with-the-online-compiler.html#importing-the-code).)
The example project is part of the [Arm Mbed OS Official Examples](https://os.mbed.com/code/) and is the [getting started example for Mbed OS](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/v5.14/quick-start/index.html). It contains an application that repeatedly blinks an LED on supported [Mbed boards](https://os.mbed.com/platforms/).

Please install [Mbed CLI](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli#installing-mbed-cli).
You can build the project with all supported [Mbed OS build tools](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/tools/index.html). However, this example project specifically refers to the command-line interface tool [Arm Mbed CLI](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli#installing-mbed-cli).
(Note: To see a rendered example you can import into the Arm Online Compiler, please see our [import quick start](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/quick-start/online-with-the-online-compiler.html#importing-the-code).)

## Import the example application
1. [Install Mbed CLI](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/quick-start/offline-with-mbed-cli.html).

From the command-line, import the example:
1. Clone this repository on your system, and change the current directory to where the project was cloned:

```
mbed import mbed-os-example-blinky
cd mbed-os-example-blinky
```
```bash
$ git clone [email protected]:armmbed/mbed-os-example-blinky && cd mbed-os-example-blinky
```

### Now compile

Invoke `mbed compile`, and specify the name of your platform and your favorite toolchain (`GCC_ARM`, `ARM`, `IAR`). For example, for the Arm Compiler:

```
mbed compile -m K64F -t ARM
```

Your PC may take a few minutes to compile your code. At the end, you see the following result:

```
[snip]

Image: ./BUILD/K64F/GCC_ARM/mbed-os-example-blinky.bin
```

### Program your board

1. Connect your Mbed device to the computer over USB.
1. Copy the binary file to the Mbed device.
1. Press the reset button to start the program.

The LED on your platform turns on and off. The main thread will additionally take a snapshot of the device's runtime statistics and display it over serial to your PC. The snapshot includes:

* System Information:
* Mbed OS Version: Will currently default to 999999
* Compiler ID
* ARM = 1
* GCC_ARM = 2
* IAR = 3
* [CPUID Register Information](#cpuid-register-information)
* [Compiler Version](#compiler-version)
* CPU Statistics
* Percentage of runtime that the device has spent awake versus in sleep
* Heap Statistics
* Current heap size
* Max heap size which refers to the largest the heap has grown to
* Thread Statistics
* Provides information on all running threads in the OS including
* Thread ID
* Thread Name
* Thread State
* Thread Priority
* Thread Stack Size
* Thread Stack Space

#### Compiler Version

| Compiler | Version Layout |
| -------- | -------------- |
| ARM | PVVbbbb (P = Major; VV = Minor; bbbb = build number) |
| GCC | VVRRPP (VV = Version; RR = Revision; PP = Patch) |
| IAR | VRRRPPP (V = Version; RRR = Revision; PPP = Patch) |

#### CPUID Register Information

| Bit Field | Field Description | Values |
| --------- | ----------------- | ------ |
|[31:24] | Implementer | 0x41 = ARM |
|[23:20] | Variant | Major revision 0x0 = Revision 0 |
|[19:16] | Architecture | 0xC = Baseline Architecture |
| | | 0xF = Constant (Mainline Architecture) |
|[15:4] | Part Number | 0xC20 = Cortex-M0 |
| | | 0xC60 = Cortex-M0+ |
| | | 0xC23 = Cortex-M3 |
| | | 0xC24 = Cortex-M4 |
| | | 0xC27 = Cortex-M7 |
| | | 0xD20 = Cortex-M23 |
| | | 0xD21 = Cortex-M33 |
|[3:0] | Revision | Minor revision: 0x1 = Patch 1 |



You can view individual examples and additional API information of the statistics collection tools at the bottom of the page in the [related links section](#related-links).


### Output

To view the serial output you can use any terminal client of your choosing such as [PuTTY](http://www.putty.org/) or [CoolTerm](http://freeware.the-meiers.org/). Unless otherwise specified, printf defaults to a baud rate of 9600 on Mbed OS.

You can find more information on the Mbed OS configuration tools and serial communication in Mbed OS in the related [related links section](#related-links).

The output should contain the following block transmitted at the blinking LED frequency (actual values may vary depending on your target, build profile, and toolchain):

```

```
Alternatively, you can download the example project with Arm Mbed CLI using the `import` subcommand:

## Troubleshooting
```bash
$ mbed import mbed-os-example-blinky && cd mbed-os-example-blinky
```


## Application functionality

The `main()` function is the single thread in the application. It toggles the state of a digital output connected to an LED on the board.

## Building and running

1. Connect a USB cable between the USB port on the board and the host computer.
2. <a name="build_cmd"></a> Run the following command to build the example project and program the microcontroller flash memory:
```bash
$ mbed compile -m <TARGET> -t <TOOLCHAIN> --flash
```
The binary is located at `./BUILD/<TARGET>/<TOOLCHAIN>/mbed-os-example-blinky.bin`.

Alternatively, you can manually copy the binary to the board, which you mount on the host computer over USB.

Depending on the target, you can build the example project with the `GCC_ARM`, `ARM` or `IAR` toolchain. After installing Arm Mbed CLI, run the command below to determine which toolchain supports your target:

```bash
$ mbed compile -S
```

## Expected output
The LED on your target turns on and off every 500 milliseconds.


## Troubleshooting
If you have problems, you can review the [documentation](https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/tutorials/debugging.html) for suggestions on what could be wrong and how to fix it.
