I have received 2 new freedom boards (K20 and KL46, they have been on the market, but I have not had them yet).. I am fully equipped here (all hardware almost ready, only to solder sockets).

First to come it's still KL02, it has been on hold since July. Sorry guys.

mbed - Add library, program and create new cookbook (tip & tricks)

I have added new libraries to mbed. That was quite intuitive. I faced one problem, if you upload your own files, there are only two options - add program or library. Firstly, I added files as library, create a folder and moved all files there. I also added files as program and then moved them. What I consider as missing part there, add Folder to a project with desired name.
Adding files has its limits (I was able to import only 20 files, more were ignored).

I realized that I was adding libraries (different symbol than normal folder) at the moment when I was about to commit new library ( it asked to commit all libraries which are part of the library).
 
There is folder (folder icon) and mbed-rtos which is the library icon.

Another one, how to add new page to the cookbook. Here's an explanation, google was not my friend in the beginning:

mbed cookbook [http://mbed.org/cookbook]

Create new link (an example http://mbed.org/cookbook/my_new_link), start editing.

Wi-Go & mbed application board (update)

Just a tiny update, I received two new boards in the last 3 weeks. That's why I haven't got time to write more tutorials, neither to port some freedom boards. More you want to achieve, less time you have left :)

The first board was the application mbed board, very first NXP chip on my desk. I tested mqtt which did not work due to server problems, some ethernet applications. I'll get closer look at mqtt in the upcoming weeks.



The second board was the Wi-Go board (cc3000). It is already supported in mbed although cc3000 is not complete yet.
I am currently rewriting cc3000 driver and will be available on mbed soon. I'll share more with you later.
