I personally like to work with NXP/Freescale microcontrollers, and that is why I have designed a development board with the intention to also expand to other brands of microcontrollers.
I have called this board a Pyramid, stating with the MK26F2M0VMD18 which come in a BGA144 footprint with a pitch between balls of 1mm, This MCU is a very nice microcontroller as its an ARM Cortex M4F with a CPU clock of 180Mhz in the High-Speed mode configuration with 2MB of Flash memory and 256Kb of SRAM. The board that I have designed includes an SDRAM of 16MB and an SDHC socket for SD Cards.
This board also includes a USB2.0 Host connector a couple of notification LEDs and an RGB LED. The board can be programmed through the JTAG/SWD port or by installing a USB Bootloader.
To this development board, I have also designed some boards called Blocks that will be swappable between the other brand MCU Pyramids.
