 i started down this road.  maybe it is different for something as
simple as a keyboard/mouse dock.  after i'd added everything up i went
"y'know... using an STM32F is a *lot* cheaper".

 ahh.... hang on a sec.  you're not *actually* creating anything new,
here - you're re-doing existing product designs as EOMA-68 products.

 would you agree?

 if so, then actually, copying *existing* products would be a
seriously, seriously good idea.

 so... to that end, have you identified any popular products, taken
them apart and looked up the chipsets?  (or done the
internet-equivalent thereof)...
