Hi Maria,

Can you be more specific on what you are trying to achieve. Are you asking if mbed OS works on mac?

So the online compiler will work on any web browser based system, so you should be ok! :)

Basically, I was planning on connecting Arduino to Nucleo (L053R8), but from what I've read (and tried), using the software ST-LINK/v2 with this platform doesn't work on OSX. I am also a beginner, working with those two boards is a new thing to me. I have some help, but I would like to know what to do. I was also able to connect the Nucleo to the computer, but I have no idea what or how to use it.

I've successfully compiled a blink LED example for a Nucleo (an F030R8) on the first try a while back. The executable downloads automatically to your downloads folder on your Mac. By just connecting your Nucleo to your Mac, it gets recognized as an external drive. If you then copy your downloaded executable to this drive, the code starts running right away on your Nucleo. No drivers needed whatsoever. It's pretty close to using the Arduino IDE in simplicity actually.
