7.2 REGISTERING TO USE Mbed 79
The Mbed compiler is easy to use and it supports a large number of ARM processors and
software libraries. Using Mbed, the compiled code can easily be uploaded to the program
memory of the target ARM microcontroller as a simple drag-and-drop (or copy) operation.
First time Mbed users must register before they can use the Mbed and the target ARM-
based development board must be added to the Mbed working environment. The steps to
register and add the Nucleo-F411RE development board to the Mbed working environment
are given in the following:
• Open the following link to create an Mbed login account
https://os.mbed.com/account/login
• Click Signup at the right-hand side and enter your details (Fig. 7.1)
• Click Hardware -> Boards and then click on picture Nucleo-F411RE (see Fig. 7.2)
• Click on Add to your Mbed Compiler at the right-hand side to add the board to your
working environment (Fig. 7.3)
• Click Compiler to start the compiler (Fig. 7.4)
