  • The atmega328 and stm32f411 are good. Both are well documented, have boards available with good peripherals, and plenty of other hobbyist projects on them.

    The atmega328 is 8-bit. It was made by Atmel, which was a great company until they got bought by Microchip a decade ago. Their IDE sucks now, but you can still program them with other tools and IDEs.

    The stm32f411 is 32-bit, a bit more recent, and a bit more expensive. ST microelectronics has great documentation and hobbyist support.

    These are microcontrollers, so you’ll be running without an operating system. If you want embedded Linux, you’ll need something with an MMU and more power than a microcontroller.
