-# Build Profiles
-Mbed 5.0 supports three primary build profiles, *develop*, *debug* and *release*. When using
-the online compiler the *develop* profile is used. When building from the command line
-the desired profile can be can be selected by adding the ```--profile <profile>```
-command line flag, but `develop` will be used by default. Custom user defined profiles can also be specific by giving the path
-the the profile.
-
-## Develop profile
-* Small and fast code
-* Full error information - e.g. asserts have filename and line number
-* Hard to follow code flow when using a debugger
-
-## Debug profile
-* Easy to step through code with a debugger
-* Full error information - e.g. asserts have filename and line number
-* Largest and slowest profile
-
-## Release profile
-* Smallest profile and still fast
-* Minimal error information
-* Chip is put to sleep when going idle:
-  * debugger is likely to drop connection
-  * breaks the [local file system](https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/LocalFileSystem) on the [mbed interface](https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/mbed-interface) (only for few NXP boards & if used)
