Mbed end of life announcement

ntewinkel
ntewinkel over 1 year ago

I just got an email from Mbed this morning, announcing they will stop supporting the tech in 2026.

https://forums.mbed.com/t/important-update-on-mbed-end-of-life/23644

I have an Mbed board, and I quite liked it and the platform, but I have to admit I never did much with it, and I mostly stopped using MBED shortly after checking it out.

One of their reasons is that Arduino, etc now covers the things MBED was built to solve. I’m guessing those boards are now programmable with the Arduino IDE?

    Oww, I didn't see that coming. I'm a bit of a fanboy of their C++ code. To my taste, they used the right style to OO embedded thingies (pins, interrupts, timers, callbacks peripherals). They were an inspiration…

    I think it was more than a good idea. It was a good OO layer for object oriented embedded design. They managed to get right abstractions to deal with microcontroller hardware. It was never intended as…

    I have dozens of projects stored in their cloud, mainly using NXP/Freescale parts (and occasionally used locally-installed Mbed) but have not used it for a few years. It has very high quality libraries.

    I'm guessing that maybe chip manufacturers paid ARM to port their microcontroller dev-boards to be part of the ecosystem. Less and less boards have been added over the years : (

    Good that they have provided at least a proper EoL announcement with a reasonable amount of time.
