Just import the whole repository to your compiler and program the board.

Then use the serial terminal next to the ethernet connector. Open the serial interface (I used tera term) on the PC and check if you get a Com port as the "mbed virtual serial device". Select that com port. Then just press any key and enter. You will get a prompt "Enter hours". Enter the hours and enter. Similarly you can enter mins and seconds.

Many thanks, Bhakti, i used tera term and got to com port of mbed virtual serial device, but after key in for hh and mm, i couldn't see number of hh and mm key-in on terminal, but it did change number on LCD screen, please advise of what went wrong?

Have you set the local echo on the serial terminal? I f not just go to setup - terminal and check the local echo box...
