LPC812 MiniKit

I wanna use the LPC812 MiniKit the talk about here : http://dev.emcelettronica.com/lpc812-minikit-easy-programming-android-peripheral-embeddable-mbed-powered-0

Will it work with the online compiler as well? Even if it's not in the current components online list?

It seems that it has the same MCU as this one: https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/NXP-LPC800-MAX/, so code compiled for that will work also on that board.

However programming it is a different story. It doesn't seem to have drag and drop programming, but instead only a serial<>USB bridge. It can also then be programmed via this bridge using the NXP UART bootloader. However this bootloader requires flashmagic (free program), and this requires hex files instead of bin files. Using one of the many (free) bin2hex programs available this conversion can be done.

So yes it does (probably) work with binaries created with the online compiler, however it also does require more steps to program it than a real mbed target.
