Compared to the already supported stm32f103xx "bluepill" board this:
- features 128 KiB flash memory size ("RB" suffix) instead of 64 KiB, see `targets/stm32f103rb.ld`
- has onboard ST-LINK/V2-1 programmer and debugger requiring different OpenOCD configuration file
- uses USART2 connected to ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger as virtual COM port over USB for `putchar()`
- has a user-accessible button besides the reset button
Instead of trying to modify periperhals directly, external functions are
called. For example, __tinygo_gpio_set sets a GPIO pin to a specified
value (high or low). It is expected that binaries made this way will be
linked with some extra libraries that implement support for these
functions.
One particularly interesting case is this experimental board simulator:

Compiling code to WebAssembly with the correct build tag for a board
will enable this board to be simulated in the browser.
Atmel/Microchip based SAMD boards are not currently supported, because
their I2C/SPI support is somewhat uncommon and harder to support in the
machine API. They may require a modification to the machine API for
proper support.
