radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 2 # Blinky Mbed OS example
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 3
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 4 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/).
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 5
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 6 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).
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 7 (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).)
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 8
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 9 1. [Install Mbed CLI](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/quick-start/offline-with-mbed-cli.html).
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 10
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 11 1. Clone this repository on your system, and change the current directory to where the project was cloned:
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 12
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 13 ```bash
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 14 $ git clone git@github.com:armmbed/mbed-os-example-blinky && cd mbed-os-example-blinky
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 15 ```
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 16
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 17 Alternatively, you can download the example project with Arm Mbed CLI using the `import` subcommand:
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 18
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 19 ```bash
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 20 $ mbed import mbed-os-example-blinky && cd mbed-os-example-blinky
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 21 ```

radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 24 ## Application functionality
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 25
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 26 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.
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 27
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 28 ## Building and running
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 29
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 30 1. Connect a USB cable between the USB port on the board and the host computer.
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 31 2. <a name="build_cmd"></a> Run the following command to build the example project and program the microcontroller flash memory:
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 32 ```bash
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 33 $ mbed compile -m <TARGET> -t <TOOLCHAIN> --flash
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 34 ```
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 35 The binary is located at `./BUILD/<TARGET>/<TOOLCHAIN>/mbed-os-example-blinky.bin`.
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 36
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 37 Alternatively, you can manually copy the binary to the board, which you mount on the host computer over USB.
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 38
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 39 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:
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 40
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 41 ```bash
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 42 $ mbed compile -S
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 43 ```
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 44
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 45 ## Expected output
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 46 The LED on your target turns on and off every 500 milliseconds.
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 47
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 48
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 49 ## Troubleshooting
radhey04ec 0:e003548e7f74 50 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.
