Deployment??
How can I actually deploy mbed. I do not want to integrate a prototyping board into my final product. How do I "flash" the mbed os onto a compatible MCU? I could not find good documentation on this .

Hi Jason,
Deploying a product based on Mbed is no different than deploying a product not based on Mbed. Mbed has no special flashing or storage requirements. It's incorporated into your software image (or executable) which will be stored into the MCU flash memory. Each MCU vendor has different flash programming and booting mechanisms (along with different tool support), so you will need to check the Reference Manual or Data Sheet for the device you plan on using to see what it offers.
If you are making a high-volume product, then you'll want to go the route of having it flashed by a third party - perhaps at the factory or the company you are sourcing the MCU from.
Regards,
Ralph, Team Mbed
