content: At the risk of sounding like a shill, my absolute favourite microcontroller is the USD $20Teensy 3.2: 72MHz Cortex M4 (NXP/Freescale MK20DX256), 64k RAM, 256k Flash, 34 I/O pins, 3.3V logic but most pins 5V tolerant, lots of peripherals; programmed via the native USB (full speed, 12 Mbit/s max) interface. (The bootloader is on a separate chip, and is proprietary.) The hardware is nice, but I've found the hbbyist support/community even better. (Programmed using Teensyduino add-on to the Arduino environment; lots of extra optimized libraries by Paul Stoffregen.) Might be a totally different experience for large scale producers, although I do know that PJRC also sells the preprogrammed bootloader chips for those who want to make their own boards. More info in theforumthere.

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on August 26, 2018, 08:20:55 pmNever had problems with ordering dev boards from them, comes within one week usually, although they can be slow to ship. I'd wait for (frequent) free shipment offer and then order what I like, few boards max. I know people complained when ordering ICs directly from TI. Restricted items can be a big PITA, although I have no problem ordering them from big distributors...

content: Maybe I've been unlucky, but it seems more people have found Ti to be cumbersome at times. Ordering from the big distributors or other manufacturers directly never caused issues, so the problem can be avoided.That TMS570LS1224 looks like a mightily complicated but interesting beast. It seems to have some more advanced power requirements with two rails and I guess some requisite current limiting? I've never seen that before.

I converted my few "playground bluepills" to stm32f303 in virtually no time. Well, you have to wait for chips (samples) to arrive

It should be available at $9.99 + shipping on Tindie once I get the built-in debugger firmware ready. It has the same physical size of a DIP-24 0.6in chip - probably the smallest ARM development kit with built-in debugger ever.
