mbed Documentation
ARM mbed is a free, open-source platform and operating system for embedded devices using the ARM Cortex-M
microcontrollers. The mbed website provides free software libraries, hardware designs, and online tools for rapid
prototyping of products. The platform includes a standards-based C/C++ SDK, a microcontroller HDK, and
supported development boards, an online compiler and online developer collaboration tools.
Note:
To send and receive data, you need a LoRaWAN 1.0 gateway, such as MultiTech's Conduit (MTCDT) with
an MTAC-LORA accessory card installed.
Programming the xDot Microcontroller
Note:
To program an xDot application, you need the xDot Developer kit, which includes an xDot mounted on a
developer board.
Use the ARM mbed ecosystem to program the microcontroller. Compile in the cloud or locally, copy the resulting
binary file to the mbed USB drive, and reset the xDot.
On the xDot mbed page, MultiTech supplies source code for non-RF portions of the xDot. To comply with FCC and
ETSI certification, some portions of the software is available only as binary libraries.
MultiTech offers both development and stable release versions of the library.
Development version: libmxDot-dev-mbed6
Stable release version: libmxDot-mbed6
You can use either the mbed online compiler or offline tools.
Online: Use the mbed-os library in your mbed application
Offline: Use mbed-cli tools to create, manage, and build your mbed 6.0 application.
