Half dead MBED _strange behavier

Mbed OS
1

Hello,
I have (had :sweat_smile:) fully working MBED 1768 module using with few LEDs and network.When I tried to complie the same program in to Seeed Studio Arch PRO 1768 a message came up on offline compiler(I think some thing about default settings on Arch Pro…Sorry I didnt read properly :flushed:), pressed ok and it all seems good . I had to do firmware update on Arch Pro before get it working .I didnt check LED output but web server seems work fine.
Now when I go back to my original setup with MBED 1768 some of the LED outputs aren’t working. Even I tried online compiler with simple blinky. Its only working on LED1-4, P7,P13 only. I didn’t change anything on hardware.
Did I mess up the MBED firmware or any setting on offline compiler?
here is my test blinky

Thanks
Best Regards
Dan

Hi,
I tried blinky on offline compiler and when I press Run Programme it crashes. But the program is download in to MBED. Once I press reset its running.
cheers
Dan

#include "mbed.h"
#include "platform/mbed_thread.h"


// Blinking rate in milliseconds
#define BLINKING_RATE_MS             500


int main()
{
    // Initialise the digital pin LED1 as an output
    DigitalOut led(LED2);

    while (true) {
        led = !led;
   //    int n=led.is_connected();
     // printf("N=%d\n",n);
        thread_sleep_for(BLINKING_RATE_MS);
    }
}

Hello Dan,

I have found an old thread with this advice from Chris Styles:

  • Press and hold reset button down.

  • Plug the mbed in to your PC (keeping the button held down).

  • When the removable drive appears reformat it (still with the button held down).

  • Unplug the mbed.

  • Plug it back normally (without the reset button being held).

It is important to keep the reset button held down so that the target is in reset and is unable to interfere with the file system.

Best regards,

Zoltan
