@okano, thank you for sharing !

@okana, very nice and it works!

I test , but not work : www:~ xxxxxxx$ sudo mount -u -w -o sync /Volumes/MBED ; cp -X /Downloads/mbed_blinky_LPC824_MAX_LPC824.bin /Volumes/MBED/ Password: cp: /Users/xxxxxx/Downloads/mbed_blinky_LPC824_MAX_LPC824.bin: No such file or directory

How write ReadBearLab : www:~ xxxxxxx$ sudo mount -u -w -o sync /Volumes/MBED ; cp -X /Downloads/my.hex /Volumes/MBED/ Password: cp: /Users/xxxxxxx/Downloads/my.hex: No such file or directory

please one solution !

Hi Francesco,

I think you tried the command on terminal, right? Since I don't have the RedBearLab board, I cannot try.

Your terminal message is meaning "the file cannot be found". Please make sure the file path is correct. If you feel it's troublesome to type the path, you can do it drag&drop also.

It can be done like this.
When you need to type the path, just drag and drop (d&d) the file into the terminal window.

Then you will get the path in the command line.

Same thing can be done for volume also.

The result of the d&d. The command line got volume name.

Now you can type [return] to execute.

This is easy way to operate the terminal but I still don't like this. That's why I made this droplet. I hope you will try this also. http://developer.mbed.org/media/uploads/okano/mbed-on-yosemite.app.zip

OMG thank you!! totally worked. Hope you don't mind but I am sharing this with my computer science class.

I'm very happy if you like it and share with everyone! :)

Hello. Thank you very much for your cooperation. I have tried both with the shell "sh" is the shell "csh", but I can not copy the file to MBED.

I'll show you the result of the terminal:

[www:/Desktop/MBED] xxxxxxx% sudo mount -u -w -o sync sudo mount -u -w -o sync: Command not found. [www:/Desktop/MBED] xxxxx% cp -X /Users/xxxxx/Desktop/my.hex usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory [www:/Desktop/MBED] xxxxxx% ls -a1r mbed.htm System Volume Information .metadata_never_index .fseventsd .. . [www:/Desktop/MBED] xxxxxx% ls -a1R . .. .fseventsd .metadata_never_index System Volume Information mbed.htm

./.fseventsd: . .. no_log

./System Volume Information: . .. IndexerVolumeGuid [www:/Desktop/MBED] xxxxxx%

It says your shell could not find the 'mount' command.
So you need to set "path" first.

I think the shell may be set to have the path in default but you may need to do by yourself.

In my case, the 'mount' command is stored as '/sbin/mount'. If your environment is same as mine, try..
(Please make sure the 'mount' command on your machine)

On 'sh' or 'bash'

export PATH="$PATH:/sbin"

If you want to try same thing on 'csh' or 'tcsh', you may nee to execute

set path = ($path /sbin)

After executing those command, you can check it by

echo $PATH

The list of your path will be shown.

Once you set the correct path, you can execute the command anytime.

To set those path as permanent, you nee to modify preference file. Please refer to..

sudo mount is recognized by the terminal. the problem of bash is determined by -o. I tried this solution, but not helpful. As you can see, MBED is shown in read-only.

www:MBED xxxxxx$ sudo mount -u -w Password: /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse) /dev/disk1s2 on /Volumes/GMobileDrive (hfs, local, journaled) map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse) map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse) /dev/disk2 on /Volumes/MBED (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners) www:MBED xxxxxxx$ cp -X /Users/xxxxx/Desktop/my.hex usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory www:MBED xxxxxxx$ ls -a1R . .. .fseventsd .metadata_never_index System Volume Information mbed.htm

./.fseventsd: . .. no_log

./System Volume Information: . .. IndexerVolumeGuid www:MBED xxxxxx$

I'm sorry if sometimes I write things not right, but I was not familiar with Unix.

I tried in every way, but the state is always read only:

www:MBED xxxxx$ cp -X /Users/xxxxx/Desktop/my.hex /Volumes/MBED cp: /Volumes/MBED/my.hex: Read-only file system

www:MBED xxxxx$ sudo mount -u -w -o sync /Volumes/MBED www:MBED xxxxx$ cp /Users/xxxx/Desktop/my.hex /Volumes/MBED www:MBED xxxxxx$ ls -a1R . .. .fseventsd .metadata_never_index System Volume Information mbed.htm

./.fseventsd: . .. no_log

./System Volume Information: . .. IndexerVolumeGuid www:MBED xxxxxxx$

www:MBED xxxxx$ mount -u -w -o sync /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse) map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse) map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse) /dev/disk1 on /Volumes/MBED (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners)

or :

www:MBED xxxxx$ sudo mount -u -o -w sync Password: mount: unknown special file or file system sync.

- -u The -u flag indicates that the status of an already mounted file system should be changed. Any of the options discussed above (the -o option) may be changed; also a file system can be changed from read-only to read-write or vice versa. An attempt to change from read-write to read-only will fail if any files on the filesystem are currently open for writing unless the -f flag is also specified. The set of options is determined by first extracting the options for the file system from the filesystem table (see getfsent(3)) then applying any options specified by the -o argument, and finally applying the -r or -w option.

sync All I/O to the file system should be done synchronously.

update The same as -u; indicate that the status of an already mounted file system should be changed.

Hi Francesco,
I'm not sure why the mount command is not working. I think it should be same as mine but difference may be the bed board. If you have different type of bed board, please try.

Just so you are aware neither the Dropplet nor mount command is working for me (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, Mid 2011 iG iMac). But thank you so much for your hard work

I was getting the error on my ST Nucleo F411RE:

mount: unknown special file or file system /Volumes/NUCLEO/

I had to make the following changes to get this working:

(*
 *  mbed executable copier for Yosemite
 *  01-Nov-2014, tedd
 *
 * this program is distributed under Apache-2.0 license
 *   http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0
 *)

on open newFile
	set targetPath to "/Volumes/NUCLEO" -- remove trailing slash and change MBED to NUCLEO
	set action1 to "sudo mount -u -w -o sync  " & targetPath & ";" -- re-mounting the mbed volume
	
	set newFileName to POSIX path of newFile -- get the file name and path in POSIX format
	set action2 to "cp -X " & newFileName & " " & targetPath & "/" -- add trailing slash
	set comm to action1 & action2 -- concatinate all commands in a string
	
	do shell script comm password "" with administrator privileges -- execute all commands on a shell
end open

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for sharing the modification.
I recommend to add a slash at end of the string : "/Volumes/NUCLEO/" (in line #10).

The last slash will prevent to make unnecessary file if the Nucleo is not connected to PC.

Hi Tedd,

Adding a slash causes the following error when using Nucleo F411RE (I just tested it again tonight to confirm):

The only way this works on my Mac is to remove the slash from line 10 above and add it back to line 14 above.

Remove trailing slash:

set targetPath to "/Volumes/NUCLEO" -- remove trailing slash and change MBED to NUCLEO

Add it back here:

set action2 to "cp -X " & newFileName & " " & targetPath & "/" -- add trailing slash

After making these changes, everything works just fine.

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for trying and sharing the information.
(Since I don't have NUCLEO, I cannot confirm. Sorry.)

I've got my Nucleo today. (04-Feb-2015)
Now the version for Nucleo is available also ;)
