Unbeknownst to many of you, December 10th, 2015 was a historic day. That morning, I walked into the building of Noca - a factory in Trondheim, Norway - wearing a white lab coat, a JTAG in my hand, and with a LoRaWAN base station in my backpack. That day, we could finally inspect the very first factory samples of the LoRa device that my team and I had been developing. The moment you see your components mounted on a PCB is both the most exciting and most scary moment in the life of any developer working on a hardware project.

Two weeks ago Stephen Kyle posted about adding support for JavaScript on ARM mbed OS with JerryScript - which has now landed in the JerryScript main repository. The ability to run a JavaScript engine on top of a microcontroller is tremendously helpful for rapid prototyping, and lowers the barrier for anyone interested in programming microcontrollers. One great thing about building JerryScript support on top of ARM mbed is that we can also leverage the vast set of published mbed libraries (5,375 and counting!). Unfortunately at this point we cannot directly use C++ libraries from JavaScript - we need some glue. In this article we'll go over the pieces needed to use a C++ mbed library in JerryScript.

We are pleased to announce the mbed OS 5.1.4 release is now available.

This release includes many minor enhancements and fixes, adds some target HAL ports in preparation for upcoming new targets (ST Disco F769NI, Delta DFBM NQ620, MTM mtconnect 04S, ST Nucleo f303ze), and some early additions for runtime heap memory tracking features we're working on that we'll share more on soon.

Here is a full list of all changes and fixes in this release...

We have three ways of developing on top of mbed OS: in the browser using the mbed Online Compiler, offline using mbed CLI, or by using an IDE like µVision or Eclipse. The last option adds a lot of flexibility: you can use mbed RTOS and mbed OS 5 as your application middleware, while still being able to develop and properly debug your application in your favourite editor.

People may come to IoT development from a variety of software backgrounds, many of them based on high-level languages, and the transition to using a C++ SDK like mbed OS may prove a challenge. Of course, there will be others who may just enjoy the expressiveness and quick design iterations that you get with languages like JavaScript. For these reasons, we're interested in providing access to mbed OS development in high-level languages.

ARM mbed has joined up with the ‘Hexiwear: The Do-Anything Device!’ contest on Hackster.io. The Hexiwear platform is a wearables Internet of Things (IoT) development platform that is energy efficient, packed with loads of sensors and is designed to reduce time to market for wearables devices. The platform was created collaboratively by NXP and MikroElektronica and is now mbed Enabled™ for mbed OS 5.
