Is there a schematic for this?

It is supposedly 'Open' so may be you should be asking Arduino directly?

I am quite surprised how urging the requests are, in light of abundance of various Pies and similar.

Can you or anybody else please enlighten me, what's the point I am obviously missing?

I guess there is some frustration in that it was announced over a year ago, as part of ST's strategy to take Arduino focus away from Atmel

It would be one of the first with the Arduino Mega foot-print with more IO and USART access, and MicroSD card slot.

A more capable/powerful/modern microcontroller, but still inside the Arduino framework.

Some people value familiarity and are ready to pay, I can only assume, a steeper price than what they would pay for the STM's discovery boards.

+1 Arudino had also an internal power struggle... U

nfortunately,

that board/project has probably been created sometime in early 2015 and has been waiting since then.

+ on board SDRAM, Camera interface, DSI-MIPI and WiFi.

Well, well then... I am curious how will this board do when it finally appears.

Me too  It all depends on the price, if they price it significantly higher than 50-60$ they will probably experience bad sales numbers.

The new H7 discovery boards that are coming out soon will probably have the same price tag...

That would be already about 150% of a Raspberry PI, Odroid C1 or similar Cortex A board. I would prefer another one of those ...

I'd rather have a version without GPIO pins tied up in stuff of dubious usability like LCD displays, MEMS sensors or audio amplifiers.I prefer to have that as optional add-on board (like the TI Tiva Launchpads with their 'booster boards').

Or alternatively, as H7 Nucleo board.
