I know what you mean.  I have a small stack of MCU boards here I've 
never applied power to.  I bought four of the Cypress boards to help 
Matthais with Mecrisp only to find the Cypress development system is 
rather obtuse.  They intentionally hide as much as possible from the 
user... in this case a designer!  I had to ask all manner of questions 
to get something very basic going.  But the boards were only $3 or $4 in 
two slightly different flavors.  That's why I bought four, lol.

So is noforth documented much?  That is one problem I'm having with 
Mecrisp.  It doesn't have a lot of documentation, which is something I 
would like to work on.  Matthias has ported it to several MSP430s and 
then discovered the ARM CM line.  I think there are some dozen ARM 
targets ready to fire up on eval boards.  He really liked the STM line I 
think.  I have an old Motorolla board that should be worth firing up and 
I think the processor has a version ready for it.  Cool.

But if noforth would get me to my goal more quickly on this task, I 
would like to consider it.  But it looks like it is only for the MSP430 
and not the ARM board I currently have.
