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).
