This looks really nice, well done. It's a great looking IO unit,
with lots useful physical peripherals.
One question, why encrypt the firmware? It seems silly since
its written for board specific peripheral units, so nobody
is going to just lift it, they'd write their own.
Obviously the fw needs decrypting which slows things down.
It closes a development avenue that makes it unattractive to
a large part of your potential customer group.
What _would_ be a nice idea is to implement network encryption
so you could use this in a secure system, where it has great
potential (automatic doors, burglar alarms, entry systems).
Apart from these issues I can see this being a choice for
educational and prototyping use, hard to compete with Ardunio
on cost, but it looks robust enough to be used with younger
age groups too.
Nice manual too.
