Mbed with other boards

01 Jul 2016

Hi,

I was interested if it would be possible to use mbed with cheap chinese boards like this one:

Core407V STM32F407VET6 (AliExpress 20$ or so)

If not, how much effort would be needed for porting.

Thanks!

Nero,

You can see all the currently supported ST boards here : https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/?tvend=10 All the nucleo boards are 10-12$. If you would like to see additional ST boards ported please reach out to ST as they are responsible for porting their platforms to be mbed enabled.

To add support for such board to the framework you should provide appropriate PR to mbed repo on GitHub. Most probably it will never be supported by online IDE and compiler, but you may use it with offline tools like PlatformIO. Find already supported board with the same MCU (or at least very similar) and start there, for general guidelines see handbook -> https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/mbed-SDK-porting.

I did this for BluePill recently (these cheap $2 boards from China), see https://github.com/mbedmicro/mbed/pull/1880.
