Which MCUs are mbed-compatible

I have been developing a prototype with the GPS & GSM C027 development from u-blox these last few weeks and I would like to go now to the next level and design a full system including the PCB.

I would like to choose the MCU with the lowest possible power consumption with still enough memories for my software and I have looked over the EFM32 MCUs from Sillicon Labs but it is not clear to me whether these EFM32 MCUs are mbed compatible nor if all NXP LPC MCUs are compatible with the mbed SDK.

Is it possible to get a list of all mbed-compatible MCUs?

Hi,

in the online IDE, the list is here https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/. In the mbed SDK (on github, using offline tools) https://github.com/mbedmicro/mbed , list is in the Readme in the bottom.

Hope this helps and you find the best fit for your design.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I see mostly development boards on these lists except for a few NXP LPC MCUs. Do I have to adapt the mbed library if I choose one of the LPC microcontrollers on my particular PCB or will it work out of the box with the other peripherals (like the GSM and GPS modules from u-blox)?

In other words, I try to compare the development time of two solutions: porting mbed to my particular PCB design or re-implementing everything from the ground up.
