Create a development board for a bare-metal ARM Microcontroller with minimal parts while allowing for maximum prototypability.
To learn from hard experience what exactly is needed to implement from the ground up a platform using an ARM-based microcontroller
The board will have the following:
- The Freescale MKL26Z32VFM4 48Mhz ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller, 32QFN (5mm)
- Any needed support componenets
- A DIP-compatible footprint. The goal is to be near the size of a teensy.
The goals are as follows:
- $10 price point
- $2.72 for the uC
- $5 board
- $3 supporting components
- Perhaps a USB port even
- Easy to construct with sufficient SMD soldering skill
- We will produce 3 of them
- 1 practice, 2 assembled on camera
