Hi. What are the chances that this product is extended to the mbed platform? That would be really good, just like the embedxcode project, which supports both arduino and mbed.

Greetings from Uruguay,

I'm still interested in mbed (and spark io) support. Any news about this?

Hi,

Great. The release of arduino 1.6.2 with a boards manager and more open hardware system diverted all dev for the last few months and we are only just coming to the end of it. Vs2015 has also now reached pre-release so there has to be a little work done for that.

The Arduino Zero has arrived and to make use of the hardware debug features it requires some relatively minor changes but are similar in some respects to the changes required for compile/upload/debug of esp8266, stm32. spark.io, mbed 

spark.io kindly sent a board and I have to say it's a neat package!

So sorry for the delay, things should start to move faster once the next few weeks are out of the way.

Yes it's on the list however in the past few months Arduino, Atmel and Microsoft have both announced or made extreme changes. So dev has been bogged down changing what was already working.

Things should stabilize again during the next couple of months which will allow time for hardware extensions.

Sorry the posts were just prior to massive changes in the arduino ide so got shelved.

It's on the list hopefully can be looked at over the next month or two.

Mbed is a real key factor for visualmicro, imho

It is like an Arduino framework for 32bit, it is a big project and officially mantained from ARM so it is a long time project.

The boards are very cheap, and the last officially added is incredibly cheap, only 2€ (Bluepill whit stm32F103)

One of the problem whit Mbed is that it do not have an official offline compiler, so all people that use it will bring to VisualMicro immediately. I tryed to export from online compiler to gcc+makefile+eclipse but it do not work always, so a standarzided VisualStudio+Visualmicro environment is very welcom.

I have two Bluepill boards and if you need i can make extensive test on all Mbed Api.

This is the 2€ board

This is the mbed-os Bluepill add:

Hi,

The problem with embed is as you say it needs to have a reliable offline compiler.

Visual Micro is mainly free so support needs to be almost zero.

Time is also short so I can only hunt for a short time for the details of how to build each framework.

With the arduino 3rd parrt hardware specification we have a common way to do things. Visual Micro can and does extend the specification so we can also cater for hardware that compiles the core from multiple folders.

So if someone would like to give instructions of exactly what should be downloaded so make a build and what should be available to each project in terms of core and libraries we could probably make something work.

i do not know if it usefull, but at this link you can Export the Mbed Blink example, included mbed library, to GccArm
https://developer.mbed.org/teams/mbed-os-examples/code/mbed-os-example-blinky

So the inside makefile maybe may help you ?
I attached a downloaded blink for Bluepill because the exporter today do not work for me

Normally this blink examples should compile on Windows if you have installed:
- Cygwin
- Make
- GCC ARM Embedded  (it is on Launchpad)


p.s. i cannot attach a file to this message ?
There is not the ChooseFile button  Shocked

p.s.2 i tested every forum sections, only on this section ( Ideas and Suggestions) is it not possible upload files

From what I understand mbed (now called mbed-os)
has a python based offline compiler here

That's looking good. when time allows I will try to create a boards.txt and platform.txt which are text files that contain the instructions for a build that can use the mbed api. 

If you want to look at this you can look at arduinoide\hardware\arduino\avr ... folder to see the boards.txt and platform.ttx for arduino avr. 

Visual Micro uses the same basic system but with additional flexibility.
