An open source platform for IoT Bogdan Marinescu mbed
What is mbed? mbed is an open source platform for developing embedded systems based on ARM Cortex ® -M microprocessor
Microcontroller and Toolchain Portability Hardware Abstraction LayerC Libraries and project exports Starting at £8.24
Components Libraries Write a component library once and get supported on multiple mbed platforms. Implement the mbed HAL once and immediately support thousands of components.
Example Application LIS302 Accelerometer Simple user friendly C++ for the user Component-based approach The implementation does not reference any MCU register, but only the mbed API

CMSIS-DAP Standardized access to the Coresight Debug Access Port (DAP) of an ARM Cortex microcontroller via USB HID (no drivers). >>> from pyOCD.board import MbedBoard >>> target = MbedBoard.chooseBoard().target 0 => MBED MBED CMSIS-DAP (0xd28, 0x204) [lpc1768] >>> target.halt() >>> target.readCoreRegister("pc") 1392 >>> target.step() >>> target.readCoreRegister("pc")
SDK Architecture
C++ in the SDK Lightweight, runs on small targets No exceptions/RTTI Put OOP to good use Minimal impact on speed
C++ in the SDK Lightweight wrapper Concise Stable API 14.2k flash / 0.5k RAM Verbose Harder to understand API may change 11.1k flash / 0.4k RAM

mbed network stack
Example network application - eth #include "mbed.h" #include "EthernetInterface.h" int main() { EthernetInterface eth; eth.init(); //Use DHCP eth.connect(); printf("IP Address is %s\n", eth.getIPAddress()); TCPSocketConnection sock; sock.connect("mbed.org", 80); char http_cmd[] = "GET /media/uploads/mbed_official/hello.txt HTTP/1.0\n\n"; sock.send_all(http_cmd, sizeof(http_cmd)-1); char buffer[300]; int ret; while (true) { ret = sock.receive(buffer, sizeof(buffer)-1); if (ret <= 0) break; buffer[ret] = '\0'; printf("Received %d chars from server:\n%s\n", ret, buffer); } sock.close(); eth.disconnect(); }
Example network application - WiFi #include "mbed.h" #include “WiflyInterface.h" int main() { WiflyInterface wifly(p28, p27, p26, p25, "myssid", "mypassword", WPA); wifly.init(); //Use DHCP while (!wifly.connect()); // join the network printf("IP Address is %s\n", wifly.getIPAddress()); TCPSocketConnection sock; sock.connect("mbed.org", 80); char http_cmd[] = "GET /media/uploads/mbed_official/hello.txt HTTP/1.0\n\n"; sock.send_all(http_cmd, sizeof(http_cmd)-1); char buffer[300]; int ret; while (true) { ret = sock.receive(buffer, sizeof(buffer)-1); if (ret <= 0) break; buffer[ret] = '\0'; printf("Received %d chars from server:\n%s\n", ret, buffer); } sock.close(); wifly.disconnect(); }
