Re: Galago: Make things better. A hardware prototyping platform.
#2The Galago guys are good people who've put a lot of time in to their development of their hardware and IDE. If your a HW dev or just want a good kit to get started, this might be a great one.

#3This looks well done. I have a project coming up where the LED app board would be ideal, but I confess to a bit of environment fatigue. Arduino, beaglebones, raspberry pi… but the ease of app board construction intrigues.
I wonder if there will be CAD jockeys I can find to turn my design into production ready files. Someone up to speed on the tools can probably save me a lot of pain over learning them myself.

#4Interesting. This is the same chip that's used in the Netduinos. It's quite a step up from the Atmel chips used in most Arduinos but I can't quite find a use for one.

#5I love this concept, kind of got hung up at this point:
"72 MHz 32-bit ARM CPU with 32KB of flash ROM and 8KB of RAM"
The reason is that I've been playing with an ST Micro STM32F4 which an ARM Cortex-M4 chip [1] which on the $15 demo board has both an on-board debugging system 192K of RAM and 1MB of Flash. Granted that is a $12 chip but still.
The development infrastructure of 'shields' is a pretty decent win, all three of the Arduino, the Netduino, the Beaglebone do this. I'm also a big fan of open expansion boards. The inkshield I got for the Arduino, way cool.
Something I miss though is an on-chip development environment. I know that sounds silly but I really think it would rock if you could just connect this to a serial port and start coding on it without the 'host' running the terminal software knowing anything.

Hey, I'm one of the co-founders of Outbreak. We're big fans of Paul's work on the Teensy, but the Teensy 3 lacks a built-in debugger, which we consider a really important feature of any development environment.

I've been using the Atmel ARM parts for awhile and they're pretty nice.
For some reason I can't explain, I would really love a single chip with an MMU/enough RAM to run linux in a QFP/QFN package so I could hand solder it. I doubt there's a business case for such a part, but I want one darn it.

Ohhh, I was wondering why there was no reset button like on the teensy. This puts things in perspective. You should really highlight this feature even more than you are right now.
Can you talk about any details on how you implemented the debugger and how it's going to work in terms of software tools?
