Looks great! Are you aware of any mechanical drawings of the RIoTboard? It would be useful for creating boards to interface with the expansion port, serial port, and JTAG connector. Thanks!

It's worth noting that http://riotboard.org is now redirecting to RIoTboard (Element14). The riotboard.org site is still accessible via the Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/ ), although downloads may or may not work.
