And here it is! If you heard about Nucleo-144, then it's true!
STMicroelectronics released new development board called STM32 Nucleo-144 (STM32 in LQFP144 package).
Extension of "Nucleo development board family" is totally logical step to possibility of using another peripherals because only Arduino connector is quite horrible for STM32 microcontrollers.
Nucleo-144 combines existing Nucleo board and Discovery boards partly. It contains Morpho connector, new Zio connector and Arduino connector.
Nucleo-144 includes ST-Link/V2-1 programmer and debugger...

AdaPilot is developed by a team of volunteers who listen closely to their user comunity. Together with our users and supporters we strive to make state of the art control software for remotely piloted vehicles that is safety critical, powerful and flexible but also easy to integrate.

The AdaPilot website is dedicated to serving the Free Software, Open-Source, AdaPilot Community. Here you can link and download the source code, tools and libraries for the AdaPilot development environment and get the latest AdaPilot news, resources and training materials. It’s also the place to exchange, ideas, discuss and contribute with a large community of AdaPilot programmers. This website is a work in progress and may thus be incomplete and in continuous development through the adding of new updates and informations, it is a "live website".

Comparison of SBC as Raspberry Pi Zero:
Raspberry Pi Zero, CHIP computer, Orange Pi One & Lite, NanoPi 2, Odroid-C0

SBCs are still smaller and cheaper. One of the first was CHIP computer, very popular small SBC with WiFi connections. Then RASPBERRY PI FOUNDATION released Raspberry Pi Zero - Pizero. Everyone are expecting pizero on store and in this moment coming Orange Pi Lite and One. The big rival of Pizero and CHIP computer.

You can choose two versions of Orange Pi - A (Lite) and B (One).
Both version contain:

The price of soldering station is very low and you can say that making of solder station is it not preferred.
You have right, maybe...
But, if you want to design our solder station, design of regulator takes a lot of time.
This project can speed up your project....

SBC (single board computer) are still very popular development devices. ARM processors have been popular until now, but now are pushed away by new types of SBC which are designed with Intel processors, e.g. Intel Atom - x86 architecture.
Next kickstarter project is JaguarBoard.
Windows 8.1/10, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian and Android are supported operation system for JaguarBoard.
...

LattePanda - it's name of kickstarter SBC (single board computer) project.
What are features of LattePanda?
Full support of Windows 10 Computer.
It contains Intel Cherry Trail Quad-core at 1.8GHz, 2 - 4 GB DDR3L RAM, 32 - 64 GB eMMC. One USB 2.0, one USB 3.0. It includes WiFi and BlueTooth 4.0 connections. LattePanda is also designed with an Arduino compatible processor - ATMega32U4 and Arduino like connector.

You can buy a lot of USB-UART converters e.g. with FT232, CH340 or CP2102. Each of USB-UART converters has some advantages or disadvantages.
Some doesn't have drivers inside kernel (linux) and/or windows. Another has a problem with faster communications.
I wanted to design own USB-UART converter and so I chose another IC for convert between USB and UART.
Broads is designed for beginners as one-sided PCB with a few jumpers.
I like IC by FTDI chip company. FT230XS.
