I’ve been using the Mbed online compiler in an educational setting for a number of years. This year I am planning to start using Mbed Studio. I’ve noticed that when I create (or import) a new program, it downloads several hundred MB of source code which can take a while. I’m envisaging the scenari…

Thanks for the replies. I think for the moment I will provide the students with a single project that has all the libraries etc. and then get them to create a different main.cpp for each laboratory activity. They can then archive the different main.cpp files (or commit to version control) when the…

Same issue for us. 80 students in a lab, not only uses a lot of disk space but also hits the network quite hard. For us, I’d be happy to have all project use the same version of the mbed-os library.

Have you developed any workarounds? I’m going to do some more testing this week, but as I said above, at the moment I envisage a single project with single main.cpp. At the end of each activity, they can rename the main.cpp e.g. main.cpp.lab1.task3 and then create a new main.cpp I’m hoping the re-…

Hello all, I maybe have a spare solution for you , until MbedStudio team not finish it in the future. Currently I have 4 projects with one separete Mbed OS linked by simple command MKlink. mklink /d “C:\Users\USERNAME\Mbed Programs\mbed-os-empty\mbed-os” “C:\Users\USERNAME\MbedLib\mbed-os” If y…

Thanks, looks like it could be useful, will check it out!

Hi @eencae , @noutram , @JohnnyK We are still looking at the best solution to either reduce the size of each program or to share libraries across programs. We have a few ideas but haven’t made a final decision about it yet. In the meantime we added a new option to Mbed Studio 0.8.0 installer on Windo…

Ahoj, Thx for info Arek. How I wrote above, I use links and it works well for my personal use. [image] GitHub - JohnK1987/SymLink-for-MbedStudio-projects: This script can manage... This script can manage with MbedOs library for possibility make a new project Offline and also make a pro…

Hi Ok, thanks for the update. A static library file without all the mbed-os sources would be a workable solution for us. It is very unlikely that we would want students to look at the mbed-os source + the build time would be shorter. In an ideal world, we would be able to then update the lib file…

mklink /d works well for me also, at least working locally. Not sure is links are supported by git version control.
