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).
