Identifying boards of interest

From the ports list, the architecture that is supported the most is the STM32 family. There are several reasons as to why STM32 is supported so well:

STMicroelectronics provides a low-level driver framework that makes it easy to support multiple STM32 devices all using the same APIs.
All the official MicroPython development boards, starting with the PYB1.0, were based on the STM32, which built up knowledge around these processors through early adopters.
There is more support for MicroPython within the STM community than within other microcontroller architecture communities.

Developers will, therefore, find that there are quite a few options to choose from within the STM32 ports, in boards folder, as shown ...
