Hello, I am new to mbed platform and i want to use the IAR compiler for ARM processors. My question is, it works, the output file format is compatible? Someone tried IAR? Or what other compiler can i use and it works with mbed. I know about the online compiler, but my problem is that i don`t want to use the existing library. Or can I use online compiler to program mbed without using "mbed.h"? I want to write cod in such manner like direct accessing registers....if you know what i mean.

Thanks.

Anyone?

Hi Catalin,

You can certainly use the mbed hardware with IAR; infact any tool chain that can produce a binary for the lpc1768. When you drop a raw ARM .bin file on the mbed, it loads it straight in to the mcu flash. So it doesn't care how you generate it.

And with our online compiler, you can certainly poke the registers directly. You don't have to use the mbed SDK APIs, or the common case is you use then for most things, and go for direct control for parts of your application that need more custom control.

Search the forum for LPC17xx.h (where the registers are defined using the CMSIS standard) and you should find some examples.

Hope that helps!

Simon

Thank you.
