We developed mbed OS 5 using the mbed CLI tool, which is a Python program that coordinates builds and fetches all the dependencies of an mbed OS application. As this runs on your local development machine, you also need compilers and other build tools installed.
mbed OS 5 is compatible with the tools, libraries and programs that have been deployed on the developer.mbed.org site since mbed's origin, so you can also use the mbed Online Compiler for building mbed OS 5 examples and programs. Furthermore, you can use the exporters to third party development tools that were part of the mbed OS 2 ecosystem.
Use the instructions below to test our Cloud9-based mbed Enabled IDE, which is currently in an alpha state.
We created the mbed command-line tool (mbed CLI), a Python-based tool, specifically for mbed OS 5. For more information, see the mbed CLI page.
The mbed Online Compiler is our in-house IDE, and should be familiar to anyone who's been working with mbed for a while. For more information, see the Online Compiler page.
You can export your project from any of our tools to third party tools. For instructions, as well as tool-specific information, see the Exporting to third party toolchains page.
