element14 has been announced as the first third-party services partner for mbed, the development platform that allows developers to quickly create products based on ARM microcontrollers. The partnership will bring the ARM development platform and tools to a much wider range of boards and products, with element14 working alongside customers to train engineers and designers.The mbed platform provides free software libraries, hardware designs and online tools for professional rapid prototyping of products based on ARM microcontrollers. It includes a standards-based C/C++ SDK, a microcontroller HDK and supported development boards, an online compiler and online developer collaboration tools.
As a services partner, mbed will train engineers within element14's wholly-owned subsidiary Embest, to use the hardware and enable mbed's delivery regardless of platform and existing software. With its popular online community and expertise at every stage of the design cycle, element14 is an ideal partner for mbed.
