Hi.

The LPC2888  is quite interesting for it, even more due to the hi-speed 
usb...
I like to have an FPGA next to the MCU. Since Future works with ALTERA 
also, it seems pretty interesting to place a memory mapped FPGA in the 
devel board, like a Cyclone or MAXII.
Regarding the board itsel, just bring IO to a pin header, and place in 
the devel board just the needed parts, like power, USB, ext memory and 
the FPGA. An optional main board with some extra toys, like LEDs, 
buttons, level converters, char LCD, pot for the AD,  maybe even a power 
H-bridge would be interesting.
