If Chipkit MAX32 would have been like this one, I would have considered developing with PIC32 instead
of SAM D21 - how that sounds? Sorry for the big picture.

Specs:

Tiva TM4C123GH6PGE with 256 KB internal flash in a 144-LQFP package that features 105 GPIOs for excellent prototyping capability
96�64 color OLED display that provides useful output and interface options
USB Micro-AB for prototyping USB OTG applications
MicroSD card slot for data storage
Screw terminals for attaching external sensors and other analog inputs
Precision 3.0-V reference for accurate analog-to-digital conversion
Temperature sensor for temperature monitoring
9-axis motion sensor for motion and position tracking that includes:
3-axis accelerometer
3-axis gyroscope
3-axis magnetometer
All I/Os brought out to headers for easy prototyping
Five user/navigation buttons (including select/wake) for user input
One user-programmable LED
CAN connector
10-pin JTAG header that provides a standard debug interface

Tiva C Series DK-TM4C123G development kit evaluation board preloaded with data logger quick-start application
On-board In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI) for easy flash programming and debugging
Cables:
USB Micro-B-plug-to-USB-A for debug function
USB Micro-B-plug-to-USB-A plug cable (connects to PC as a USB device)
SB Micro-A-plug-to-Std-A receptacle cable (connects to USB Flash drive)
3-V CR2032 lithium coin-cell battery
Development Kit USB thumb drive that contains:
Complete documentation
TivaWare� for C Series Firmware
Development package with example source code
Texas Instruments� Code Composer Studio� IDE
Keil� RealView� Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK-ARM)
IAR Embedded Workbench� development tools

Hi Vasi,

I don't know about the board itself but HOW did you get such a wonderful picture posted on TBS forum?

Hi Mick,

The image is hosted on TI site. On the left side of "Image Upload" button is the "Add Image"
button (hover the mouse ower buttons and wait for the tooltip). I used that button
to specify the link to the image. Such large images can be posted on Flickr
or any image hoster which allows hot linking. Or your website.

Another useful thing when the image is on your own website is to find out how many times that picture is accessed and from where.

It's $149 so there are many many boards to choose from that are faster, more flash, more RAM and cheaper as well.

What's special about it to justify $149?
