h1. Compiling from source
It is possible to compile the software from source and make a binary image that runs on the mbed.
# MBED online compiler (at http://mbed.org): You need an account on mbed.org and a Internet connection.
# GCC4MBED offline compiler, using GCC. Download at (https://github.com/adamgreen/gcc4mbed)
You can use GCC4MBED on your platform, or use a linux virtual machine to compile the sources. See:
http://jeelabs.net/projects/tosca/wiki/ARM_toolchain_setup_GCC4ARM
Installation of gcc4mbed on linux:
<pre>
wget https://github.com/adamgreen/gcc4mbed/zipball/master
mv master adamgreen-gcc4mbed.zip
unzip adamgreen-gcc4mbed.zip
mv adamgreen-gcc4mbed-* gcc4mbed
cd gcc4mbed
./linux_install</pre>
Check the "Github gcc4mbed page":https://github.com/adamgreen/gcc4mbed when you run into problems.
Then download / clone the firmware
<pre>git clone https://github.com/LaosLaser/Firmware.git</pre>
Place laser folder in gcc4mbed folder
Run the following command in that folder
<pre>make</pre>
And copy the resulting bin file to your MBED or LPC.
The compiler (currently) creates two .bin files. (laos.bin and laos-lpc.bin) laos-LPC is (experimental) for the lpcexpresso (not mbed).
