Even so, I cant find an ARM11 chip for less than 10$ on octopart, and in the 700MHz range its more like 20-30$ just for 1 chip. For qty purchases that can come down to 7.50, but thats being REALLY generous. I have trouble believing they can

The most popular ARM arduino boards do NOT have any operating system (mBed and LeafLabs Maple) and operate bare-metal style like Arduino. These are growing in popularity much faster than you might think. The user experience isnt quite as sm

Hi HN, I work at LeafLabs, we are responsible for a 72MHz, open/libre licensed, ARM microcontroller platform called Maple. The header spacing issue on Arduino was really a gaff! We actually provide a 1/10" compatible secondary header as a r
