Reboot Mbed by PC

29 Sep 2011

Hello Everyone,

We have only one sample of the sensor which is connected to mbed. We, 5 people, would like to work on this sensor from a distance. This is why, we set up an ubuntu server which is connected to ubuntu. Rightnow we can send compiled bin files to MBED. However. we have to reset the mbed by hand to run the code.

Is there a way to reset/reboot mbed by a script or a code from the PC/Console?

I tried to unmount and mount the MBED but it doesn't work.

PS. We have ssh access to the ubuntu server.

Thanks a lot!

Best, Deniz

Check out this forum thread. You can connect a terminal program like TeraTerm to the MBED and then use it to send a BREAK signal down the line and this will cause the chip to reset.
