The mbed Microcontrollers are a series of microcontrollers development boards designed for fast, flexible and low-risk and professional rapid prototyping.
They are packaged as a small 40-pin 0.1" DIP form-factor convenient for prototyping with solderless breadboard, stripboard, and through-hole PCBs. They include a built-in USB programming interface that is as simple as using a USB Flash Drive. Plug it in, drop on an ARM program binary, and its up and running!

The USB drag ‘n’ drop programming interface works with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, meaning you can re-flash the microcontroller without needing drivers or a programming application. The program binary can be easily generated using the mbed Online Compiler, or alternatively using any other standard toolchain like Keil uVision, Code Red, or GCC.
There is also support for a virtual serial port using the same USB interface, enabling communication with a PC terminal, Labview, Matlab, and any other programming language that can communicate with a COM port.
The same rapid prototyping form-factor and functionality is available for a number of different microcontroller targets, suitable for prototyping different applications:

It is correct, the M0 now has 8 PWMs:

Hi, What EMC testing has been conducted on the mBED?
