mbed HDK
The mbed Hardware Development Kit (HDK) provides full microcontroller sub-system design files and firmware for building development boards and custom products that benefit from the native support of the mbed SDK and free mbed Online Compiler and mbed Developer Platform.
The HDK specifies all support components and circuits including the mbed Onboard Interface design that provides simple USB drag-n-drop programming and CMSIS-DAP debug interface for the target microcontroller.
Development boards that are already based on the HDK are the quickest way to get started with the mbed platform. We manufacture official mbed Microcontroller modules that are specifically optimised for flexible rapid prototyping, and are available from distributors worldwide. Our partners are now also creating mbed-enabled hardware such as ultra low-cost ARM evaluation boards in the popular Arduino form-factor.
mbed HDK contents¶
Each of the sub-system designs in the HDK includes the microcontroller, the programming interface, clock generation, power supply, reset circuits, any external devices (Ethernet Phy), and all supporting circuits required for correct operation, as supported by the mbed SDK
For each subsystem design, the HDK contains :
- Hardware design files; Schematics, PCB, CAM and Design Rule files
- Bill of materials
- Design and integration notes
- Datasheets for all the components
Currently supported designs:
- mbed HDK LPC1768
- mbed HDK LPC11U24
- mbed Onboard Interface
