Yes, the most interesting ones seems so. I also hope that this will
change... I expect to use them shortly :) A lot of them are readily
available, particularly the LM3S8962 with Ethernet but no USB. But the
nicer ones, LM3S9B92 and LM3S9B96, seems are not so.
I've played around a bit with (less than I would like) with the LM3S9B92
and the LM3S8962, and seems quite good, but not yet used them in a real
design.
BTW the LQFP-100 are not very hard to get hand-soldered, once you get
used to :)
Regards,
Javier
