No that's an ARM board, no display and no FRAM.  I mean this one:

http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/launchpads-msp430-msp-exp430FR6989.html

It's really cool.  It has that 6-char starburst display, has an RTC, and
has 128K of FRAM which is basically nonvolatile RAM, and it uses almost
no power.  It would be great if they made some ARM parts with FRAM but
apparently the fab process is different.  The FRAM board seems like a
perfect host for a 16-bit Forth.
