RS EDP CM MBED Support Page
This Command Module for the RS-EDP system, utilises an ARM7 LPC2368 device from NXP. The MBED Module plugs into an MBED Adapter Board, which fits the RS-EDP Baseboard allowing you access to the features of the RS-EDP system.
The Command Module comprises of both the MBED Module and the MBED Adapter Board.
The MBED Module introduces a new way to write embedded firmware. Instead of having a C compiler license installed upon your machine the MBED Module makes use of a C Compiler installed on a virtual host. Your software and project are built within the framework of an HTML page. The compilation is done remotely on your behalf, and the resulting binary image file is transferred to you and stored on the mbed module. By rebooting the MBED Module the new image is flashed into the hardware and the MBED Module runs your application code.
