dwelch67 / Mbed_samples

This is a collection of sample programs, in some respects building on each other for the mbed (http://mbed.org) platform.

These samples are intended to demonstrate how to use the platform without using the web compiler or mbed api. This will hopefully get you kick started into learning to program the hardware directly using the reference material provided by the vendor(s).

At a minimum you will need some documents, starting at

http://mbed.org

go to the handbook page (Handbook link top right of page)

http://mbed.org/handbook

At the bottom of the page (before the comments start) go to the hardware page (mbed NXP LPC1768 link)

http://mbed.org/handbook/mbed-NXP-LPC1768

Near the bottom of that page are two documents you need, first is the schematic

http://mbed.org/media/uploads/chris/mbed-005.1.pdf

The second is the LPC1768 users manual

Need a place for these, notes to self about building binutils and gcc from sources:

../configure --target=arm-none-eabi --prefix=/gnuarm --disable-werror? ../configure --target=arm-none-eabi --prefix=/gnuarm --disable-werror --disable-nls

../configure --target=arm-none-eabi --prefix=/gnuarm --disable-libssp --disable-libc --disable-libgcc important to use make all-gcc and install-gcc instead of just make and make install

Start with the blinker programs, blinker01, blinker02, blinker03, etc.
