I'm posting in the RedBearLab support as well - but I wanted to post the error I'm getting from Energia in the forums to see if anyone can help.
I got the software from RedBearLab installed as well as the MBED serial driver. When I try to upload - I just get "upload failed" with no other detail.
I tried Energia 0014 and 0015. OS is Windows 7 Professional, x64.
This is the error I get when I try to send something via Serial Monitor. I'm hoping this might be helpful as to why my uploads fail.

I did try using Putty to transmit serial data - the "tx" light on the board flashes when I'm transmitting, something that doesn't seem to happen when I try to upload with Energia. I'm not getting errors from any other serial ports.
Help?
