You are correct; adding a bsp and mcu support is not the first thing I would tackle either :-) Those boards are indeed cheap so getting one and trying mynewt out with a board that is already supported is definitely the path I would take.
I think once you get familiar with mynewt you will find that adding BSP/MCU support is fairly easy. Let us know how it goes! Will > On May 19, 2016, at 10:49 AM, David G.
