Getting Started with Arm® Mbed™
Perry Xiao · 2018
This chapter describes the hardware and software required for the Arm® Mbed™ development. It also illustrates the steps to get started with the Arm® Mbed™ development, how to import and run the first LED blinking Hello World program, and how to create a new project, how to manage the platforms, how to clone the program, how to search and replace, how to compile the program for multiple platforms, how to delete the program, how to recovery from disaster, how to upgrade firmware, and how to get help. The following are the three ways to get started with Arm® Mbed™ development: online compiler, command line interface (mbed CLI) and third-party development environment. The Arm® Mbed™ program uses C++ programming language. This is different from C programming language, which was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie for UNIX operating systems at “AT&T's Bell Laboratory” of USA back in the 1970s.
