Hi People,

What is the process in development once you have designed and built your own board, can you use the mbed as you do when using the mbed board? So if when I have my production board will I be able to use the mbed compiler and download and install onto my board as I do with the mbed board????

Hi, Harry.

Well, you can actually use the compiled code from the compiler on the LPC1768, if you use the same pin connections.

The only thing that you can't is download the binary to the LPC1768 because of the "magic interface" mbed offers.
Chris has written a guide, on how to download binaries to a PCB you made yourself: http://mbed.org/users/chris/notebook/prototype-to-hardware/

Best of luck,

Lerche

"Magic interface" mbed -
This is converter USB-UART, connected to the UART0 lpc1768.
And consistent flush, which he displays as a USB drive on PC.
Made on a chip from NXP.
If the binary fill in lpc1768 ( is not important , through the "magic interface", via JTAG,
by FLASHMAGIC through UART0) - will it work.
Why did the creators of mbed been secreted this interface - it is not clear .
