This library allows any user to use their Mbed project with a transient energy source( e.g. windturbine, solar power). You can do this by simply import the "hibernus.h" header file, and call the "Hibernus()" method at the beginning of you main program. In case of a power loss the state of your programm will be saved to the nonvolatile memory and it will be resumed from the same point as soon as there is enough power for the board to run properly. If the power drops down, the internal capacitance of the system is used to save a snapshot of your program into the flash memory, and the board goes in a low power mode (sleep or deepsleep). In order to detect a power loss, the library uses an analog comparator which can be internal (eg Freescale KL 05Z has an internal comparator which can be used ), or external (on LPC11U24 there is no internal comparator) via a GPIO interrupt. For more details see the code comments and the attached example main.cpp file.
