miniUSB as UART

Hello!

I understand that there is a way to user the UART0 to communicate through the USB cable that is used to connect the MBED to the PC. What happens to the Mass storage drive then? Will it disappear? If so, how can the device be programmed thereafter?

Also what is the method to achieve this? I am developing from eclipse rather than using the online compiler. Is this method open to users like me?

mbed is represented as a composite device: one interface is mass storage and the other is serial port. The two can function independently.

You need to make Eclipse generate plain binary (not elf or hex) for LPC1768, this should work "out of the box".
