This seems like one of those things that looks super cool and I want to order one, but I have no idea what to actually use it for.
I feel like I need to learn embedded/low power stuff to truly understand what I can do with things like these. I've had an MSP430 sitting around in my desk for roughly 15 years now, and I could never think of what to do with that, either.
I was thinking diy ereader, maybe it would be better to go with a Boox or separate display and board for sustainability or economic reasons, but all the internals in one place for one price is...

I also have an MSP430 eval board in a drawer for a long time. I actually thought I'd find it useful to me because of the low power draw, but at the time I had to use TI's IDE and it was such a hulking monstrosity to this arduinoite it really turned me off. I suppose that just like anything else, it really helps to have a use case scenario for it before you buy it. I hadn't at the time and I've found boards that I like to use significantly more.
And if I'm being completely honest, I don't do a lot of hardware hacking these days anyways.
In that case you could do some craigslist listing to make other's dream of hardware journey possible. After all it's still somewhat a very popular MCU used in university curriculums.

Digikey listing is coming soon.
Well, that is quite well priced in my opinion. The hardware combined on it would likely be priced at at least double if you were to get it separately.
