This development board seems really powerful and can serve many purposes.

I do not know if these are already planned but I would like to see:

1. ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer
2. Grove connectors (Seeed without Grove?)
3. GPIO expansion connector (for Raspberry Pi shields) as well as Arduino Uno V3 expansion connectors (For Arduino shields). This double purpose board can take advantage from both of the worlds.
4. USB 3.0 (it seems STM32MP157C supports USB 2.0 only but I may be wrong)
5. NFC Tag (for provisioning, good for doing something without changing the code)

For the name I can suggest:
Since It is Seeed's 10th Anniversary so "10 board". The 10 is also a binary digit which is decimal 2 (basically it is two boards Linux+Arduino). "10" also looks like IO (input/output) or part of IOT. It is a catchy word which is good for branding.

Hi yokonav,



Thanks for your feedback.

1. There is SWD interface already, so will not add ST-Link/V2-1 in this baseboard.
   
2. Will try to replace the Lipo connector with a Grove connector.
   
3. The Arduino Uno expansion will not be put on this board, otherwise, the board will be too complicated. Will breakout all the Arduino pin to Raspberry Pi 40-Pin, and provide a HAT with Arduino expansion.
   
4. Yes, what STM32MP157C has is USB 2.0. USB3.0 is nice~ however adding USB 3.0 will add quite a lot cost, may consider it if there is a pro version.
   
5. It is interesting to add NFC tag on a development board, do you have a specific application that needs this feature?
   
   
   
   Really appreciate and like the idea of “10 board”. I have suggested this name to our branding team. Thank you~
