Does hardware debug work with LPC1549
Just getting started with mbed - looks so cool! BUT - don't understand if I can set hardware breakpoints on the 1549 as I can in the LPCExpresso IDE. I don't see any way it could be done, but with all the other magic here, who knows! :-)
Any clues?

The online IDE does not support hardware breakpoints and similar debug options, generally people stick to printf style debugging. It would require direct talking between your browser and the debug unit.
What you can do is export the mbed lib to an offline IDE. I don't know if LPCExpresso is supported on the LPC1549 already though.
This is a very serious omission for programs with any degree of complexity. It really limits utilisation within the professional programming area.

Tbh I have gotten everywhere just with printf style debugging. But in any professional environment I would at least want to have the option to work offline.
