Problems flashing on a mac (or maybe linux?)
I had trouble flashing the mbed firmware using my mac, until I decided to try to figure out why it's supposed to work from Windows but not from Mac or linux.
What's the main difference between Windows and Mac/Linux? LINE ENDINGS! I ran the mbed firmware through "unix2dos", copied it to the BootLoader image, and voila, it worked perfectly!
If you're having trouble with flashing this on a mac, give that a try.

Did not test that one, but sounds weird considering that firmware are binary files.
Found another solution to update using Linux (should be OK on MAC, provided that dd is present, and adapting device name to what's on MAC) : http://developer.mbed.org/questions/6529/Flashing-from-Linux/
Hello nullset,
it would probably be better if you create your own personal notepad. It's rather a solution than a question. Thank you for sharing!
