Exporting to MCUXpresso IDE results in an error

[fluidblue]

Description

When exporting a project to MCUXpresso IDE using mbed-cli, e.g. with

mbed export -i mcuxpresso -m LPC11U68

the command results in an error.
The error states that LPC11U68 is not supported by mcuxpresso, however mbed export --supported shows that this microcontroller is supported on mcuxpresso.

Some details: mbed-cli v1.8.3 was used on the project mbed-os-example-blinky.

This also happens for other LPC microcontrollers, e.g. LPC11U35_401.

Why is the export failing?
How to solve it?

Edit: For some LPC microcontrollers, the export works (e.g. LPC1768), but for others it doesn't work (e.g. LPC11U35_401 and LPC11U68)

Hi @fluidblue
Thanks for reporting this issue. We will look at this issue and get back to you on this thread.

I did some debugging:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/Downloads/ARM-mbed/mbed-cli/mbed-os-example-blinky/mbed-os/tools/project.py", line 374, in main
    ignore=options.ignore
  File "/Users/user/Downloads/ARM-mbed/mbed-cli/mbed-os-example-blinky/mbed-os/tools/project.py", line 155, in export
    ignore=ignore
  File "/Users/user/Downloads/ARM-mbed/mbed-cli/mbed-os-example-blinky/mbed-os/tools/export/__init__.py", line 274, in export_project
    toolchain.config.load_resources(resources)
  File "/Users/user/Downloads/ARM-mbed/mbed-cli/mbed-os-example-blinky/mbed-os/tools/config/__init__.py", line 1107, in load_resources
    raise NotSupportedException("Target does not support mbed OS 5")
NotSupportedException: Target does not support mbed OS 5

With this information I found out that the LPC11U68 is only compatible with mbed OS 2.

I think the above error information ("Target does not support mbed OS 5") should be added to the mbed-cli output ("LPC11U68 not supported by mcuxpresso").

With the additional error information I also realized that there are two versions of the blinky example: mbed OS 5 blinky and mbed OS 2 blinky. For boards only supporting mbed OS 2 (e.g. LPC11U68), the mbed OS 2 blinky example must be used.
