First time try to use the mbed. Fanatistic - I did not read anything but here and there. i got a bit of understanding on tool chains and also the browser as the tool chain for the MCU. I created an account and sign in but did not start because I have not orderd the LPC 1768 and when I got it I connected the mini USB connector to the Linux desktop and then I started to click on the "No device selected" link and it open up a window and the LPC1768 was listed. I wonder can I add the testbed?? Because right now they are teaching the mbed application board. Got a feeling maybe testbed is no longer in use or production. Maybe I should check the website for testbed and see what they will say. Right now I am watching Chris video on the ARM univeristy. But before I watch how Chris get the blinky application part I was able to import and compile and save the binary back to the LPC1768 memory area. When I plug the LPC1768 it was recognised as a USB flash drive. So I got the blinky LED1 running then I alter the blinky LED1 to blinky LED2 and download it and I renamed it and when I press the start button on the LPC 1768 and it seemed to know to flush the next program into it rather than picking the first one I downloaded.
