When do wee see a fusion of mbed and e.g. "system on modules" from GHI Electronics ???
Hello,
the G120 module from GHI Electronics is very small, uses also a powerfull 120 MHz 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 from NXP (LCP1788) and offers a really great number of connection possibilities and GPIOs.

Combine this with the easy to use mbed high level programming environment and mbed online compiler - and that would be the perfect small and cost effective solution with all posibilities.
Is there any plan to adapt the mbed system on a system like or similar like e.g. the G120 module from GHI Electronics? This shouldn't be so complicated as it is also a MCU from NXP.
I'm not the first with this request: https://mbed.org/forum/bugs-suggestions/topic/3964/

The EA LPC4088 QuickStart Board has 32Mb of SD-Ram. If you need a board with a lcd controller have a look. If you want to use the GHI Electronics board - port the mbed lib. The source of the lib is open. Or ask GHI Electronics to do.
Wow, 16MB of RAM on a microcontroller? I wonder how many people would actually want to program something that big in C/C++? Seems to me it might be nice to trade off some performance for a higher-level programming language on something like that.
posted by Neil Thiessen 01 Apr 2014If you're in a hurry, there's support for the LPC4088 platform already https://mbed.org/platforms/EA-LPC4088/ which is pin compatible with the LPC1788 processor (just has an M4 core in place of the M3 core & a working SPIFI interface to allow code to run from external SPI Flash)
