BT-mbed release

[olzeke51]

approx 5PM - 21 Aug - I downloaded the 'setupBasic.exe' from the mbed compiler page.
ran it in DEMO mode - ran BLINKY from the Examples folder in the Basic folder (not my documents folder!)
got this error message at about the 20 count in the program when I hit the <Stop> button.
'
couldn't execute "tskill": no such file or directory

it worked okay after I loaded drivers for the dongle and connected my ProStart board

seems to be a DEMO mode issue as I just ran BT again with NO dongle/usb com
windows Vista
installed to c:\coridium\Basic.mbd folder
C:\coridium only has one folder it it, no other files

tskill did work in some earlier versions of Windows, but seems to be not available in Vista and later. Right now I don't know of a way to stop a demo program from running. So for now the best I can do is post some message that demo mode can't be stopped.

STOP does work on our boards, and also on mBed and Teensy though for both of those it is a bit clunkier as we don't have control on the reset.

setupBASIC.exe is the same for all boards, between BASICtools and the ARMbasic compiler customization is done at compile time.

I found taskkill works for Vista and beyond and have added that to BASICtools for demo mode

A new setupBASIC.exe will be updated this morning, also includes 9.34e of the compiler.
