Hi and happy holidays to you all,

I just got my new Cortex-M0 mbed today ! *excited*
( thanks to coolcomponents.co.uk ! )

before first connecting it to USB,
I did a first "visual inspection" and found out that two pins of the "mbed interfce" chip on the backside are connected with a short-circuit ("solder-bridge").

is this a defect or is this meant to be this way ? (see picture: http://24max.de/temp/shortcut.jpg )

I am afraid to connect it to USB / to power-up the module ... ;-)

I can almost certainly say that, that's not suppose to be there!

But if it'll have impact on the interface, I cannot answer! :-)

Hi Dirk,

Just to confirm, that is supposed to be there! It is a minor update/workaround fix we added after going to production of our first batch of pcbs. It is actually related to enabling the reset button to work even when the interface chip is disabled.

So all is good; someone spent time putting that there :)

Have fun!

Simon

Wow, never saw a fix like that, nice to know that it's suppose to be there!

@Simon,

thanks, everything works now ...

I can use compiler with a little "hello World" on my new Cortex-M0 mbed
(I can switch (choose) within the online compiler between LPC11U24 and LPC1768)
but in my profile here ( http://mbed.org/users/Dirk97/ ) my new LPC11U24 doesn't show up on the right hand side below "Dirk's microcontrollers"
Do I have to put in another "signup code" then ? (and if, where to get it ?)

any idea .. ?

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the report; we'll investigate why it is not displaying in your profile. It should, but sounds like everything is functioning correctly which is good to know.

Simon
