It's basically 'C' code with a proprietary library. The library gives you short cut functionality very similar to Arduino. There is a schematic that you can download from http://mbed.org/handbook/mbed-NXP-LPC1768 look near the bottom of the page.
I have built a 4-axis controller card using the LPC1768 microcontroller, (same as mbed), that will some day soon read G Code from a SD card. It already runs the four axis. All the code is developed using the mbed compiler and the binary file is then downloaded. I do a binary to hex conversion and then load it to my card using Flash Magic (free). One day I will convert the library functions that I am using to straight C code.
