[Arm-netbook] IC for analog and digital buttons (EOMA-68)

[krasi gichev]

Firmware update of newer STM32s could be done over USB too - you don't need
separate UART for this. Just wire BOOT pin (pins) to GPIO(s) from EOMA to
allow entering firmware update mode (DFU over USB).
64pin seems an overkill - there a lot of other package options, e.g. 48pin
QFN, not to mention the BGA variants. Also, F103 is quite old one, probably
the price might be good, but I would recommend some of newer ones
(Cortex-M0 even) - look at F0, F2, F3 series. A good option could be this:
STM32F071CB, the price goes below $2.50 for 100pcs, and it seems to have
all you need -

SiLabs "Precision 32" are also nice ones - very well balanced peripherals
and packages (e.g. QFN40, SiM3U154), built in regulator from 5V (if
needed). But the price is higher.
