What is Mbed Enabled?
The Arm® Mbed Enabled™ program aims to ensure that developers can use Mbed technologies (Mbed OS, and others) across a range of qualified hardware. In order to achieve a consistent experience for developers, Mbed Enabled defines a set of functionality and performance requirements that the hardware and software support libraries must meet. This enables developers to rapidly evaluate, prototype and productize by focusing on the application code of their embedded device functionality regardless of their hardware of choice.

Program Categories
Boards
Focusing on evaluation and rapid prototyping, boards are development platforms that integrate microntrollers or modules with components to make a system that Mbed OS runs on. Most often bundled with a debug circuit and peripheral connection options.
Mbed Enabled requirements for Boards
Components
Hardware components extend the capabilities of microcontrollers, modules or boards, and include the associated software libraries for Mbed OS.
Mbed Enabled requirements for Components
Interfaces
Hardware circuits and accompanying firmwares that is used for development, debug and testing software that runs on Arm based microcontrollers.
