leaflabs.com: "We’ve got our blink on… Python style!
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the specs on Maple Native:
72MHz
1MB external SRAM
DACs
I2Cs
SPIs
UARTs
ADCs
FSMC

Took me a week of randomly banging on a keyboard but yesterday we typed blinky into interactive pymite (IPM) and… let’s just say I’m giddy."
