Arduino and Beyond with ARM Cortex M3

Explore M3 is a feature rich ARM Cortex M3 development board. It can help you prototype ideas faster with Arduino and take them beyond, with bare metal programming, RTOS support and lower power modes if need be. All the source-code and hardware design files are open-source including the on board boot-loader. This makes it easy in using the board/chip in your custom designs
