Sort by Platform ?

Hello Mbed Forum,

Purchased a couple of boards a few weeks ago and so far have had a lot of success with downloading and playing with examples, including USB and Ethernet. Well done for putting together a great way to get started with Arm.

I have encountered a few problems, two of which persist:

(1) Is there a way to sort/identify all the projects/libraries etc by platform ? Many wont work on my platform and it takes a bit of digging around to realise that they are built around a different platform (eg UART availability and/or pin assignments). Am I missing something obvious ? I realise that I should be able to easily port such examples to my preferred platform, but it would be easier (especially for a newbie like me) if I could just filter on the right platform in the first place.

(2) Is there a definitive source for hardware pin assignments. There have been problems with some of the mbed drawings (eg UART Tx and Rx pins swapped) which can take forever to sort out. Pre mbed, if in doubt I'd just look for definitions in a .h file and I'd have the answer 10 seconds later, but where can I get those files ?

Thanks in advance,

John
