In response to Joshu - I don't think this is a Kickstarter Campaign - I get it's two guys in the UK doing this off their own backs - and in record time - design on laptop to working board prototype in less than 2 weeks - with the pcbs made in Shenzhen China, in under a week. There on Twitter under #myStorm - if you want to check them out

Well, it looks like there are 3 chips, a usual DC-DC converter, and that's all :-)

If you search around the communities - there's an STM32duino forum where the EagleCAD design files for #myStorm have been placed http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1276#p16407

It looks like they have 512K bytes of 10nS SRAM on the back of the board - but it's neat how the $5 Rapberry Pi-Zero plugs in at one end - some cool overall pics on Twitter if you search #myStorm

Suggesting someone search Twitter for a hashtag is not really good documentation. Maybe a link to a top level project page somewhere would be helpful.

I have been wanting to build a smaller project around an fpga so I am very excited about this, if they plan to sell it.
