Dependencies:   USBDevice mbed

Code is selfdocumented.

I hope you enyoy it

+//WATHDOG ENABLED IN OUR KL25Z_SystemInit.c (overloading library function SystemInit.c)
+// It happens in this uC after reset watchdog is enabled with timeout=1024ms (2^10*LPO=1KHz)
+//  so mbed developers to allow a learning use of this board disable it on SystemInit.c
+// **BUT** SIM_COPC register can only be written once after reset and so it can not be enabled later
+//  I think best solution is to overload SystemInit() using:   void $Sub$$SystemInit (void) {
+//  original SystemInit() does not appear in export, it must be dowloaded from:
