-# Overview
+## Overview
 
-*missing*
+mbed LPC1768 is a small development board by ARM. A LPC1768, an Ethernet PHY
+transceiver (DP83848J), a 2MB flash device (AT45DB161D) and a MBED-IF01
+(LPC2148) are present on the board.
+This board aims to make it very easy to flash a new firmware. There is no
+need for an external programmer. The sole purpose of the MBED-IF01 is to
+appear as a USB flash drive when the board is connected over USB to a
+computer. The most recent binary file stored on the USB drive is flashed on
+the next reset.

+## Using UART
+
+This board opens a serial interface through the USB automatically.
+
+## Supported Toolchains
+
+For using the mbed LPC1768 board we strongly recommend the usage of the
+[GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded)
+toolchain.
+
+## Flashing the device
+
+The easiest way to flash the device is to connect to the board via USB. The
+board appears as a 2MB usb drive. `make flash` will copy your binary file to
+the root directory but you need to manually reset your board by pressing the
+reset button.
+While the LPC1768 is flashed by the MBED-IF01 with the new firmware, the
+status LED blinks fast.
+
+## Known Issues
 * Does not compile with the mentor graphics toolchain (compare
