What is an Mbed board?

Mbed is a platform and operating system for internet-connected devices based on 32-bit ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. The project is collaboratively developed by Arm and its technology partners.

How do you use mbed?

Instructions

1. Open the mbed Compiler. Open the online compiler using the link in the site menu (top-right of the page).
2. Create a New Program. To create a new program in your personal Program Workspace:
3. View the default program source code.
4. Compile and Download the Program.

What is MBED CLI?

Mbed CLI 1 enables Git- and Mercurial-based version control, dependencies management, code publishing, support for remotely hosted repositories (GitHub, GitLab and mbed.org), use of the Arm Mbed OS build system, export functions and other operations.

What can I do with the Mbed OS?

A broad range of connectivity options are available in Mbed OS, supported with software libraries, development hardware, tutorials and examples. With support for Mbed OS on a wide range of Arm Cortex-M based devices, developers can prototype IoT applications quickly on low-cost development boards.

Can you make a custom port of Mbed OS?

If your board is based on an existing Mbed Enabled microcontroller, you can simply extend that board configuration without the need to implement all the files yourself. This tutorial covers the most common methods used to create a custom port of Mbed OS when starting from an existing Mbed Enabled board.

Can a custom microcontroller run Mbed OS?

When designing a custom microcontroller board to run Mbed OS, you may need to make software customizations for the unique design choices you have made for your new board, such as clocking, pin connections and peripheral use.

Is the mbed compiler compatible with the ARM microcontroller toolchain?

The mbed C/C++ SDK used with the mbed Online Compiler is also compatible with a number of other popular ARM microcontroller toolchains, so we’ve also built in the ability to export directly to these toolchains!
