How to make a new board support for mbed

[DarkerL]

When my nRF51 DK is only a board without any software.How can I make it work and support for mbed? If I have to flash the SoftDevice, the bootloader by using nRFgo Studio or other tools? And where can I find bootloader fit for nRF51 DK? Thank you very much.

Hey!

Check out this overview on the mBed developer site.

Your solution is under "Firmware Update"

After doing those steps, just save the mBed comiled program to the mBed driver on your computer.

Thank you. Maybe I can't clear things up.IF I make a board which have same hardware structure with nRF51 DK.It don't have bootloader model and computer can't identify it.So maybe I have to do some thing first. Finally,thank you for answer and help me.

You can download the bootloader to put on the ATSAM3 chip here: github.com/.../CMSIS-DAP

Keil projects are included, and you should be able to compile without much trouble. Use a J-Link to flash the ATSAM3 chip.

Then it will show up as a USB flash drive, and you can drag and drop over the mbed firmware. The mbed firmware can be found in the link in Anders' answer.
