If you are interested in bare metal development (without linux as a host OS) then the ST Nucleo boards are a very interesting choice, they come with an integrated ST-Link Debugger interface and have Arduino-compatible headers. Cost is about €12,--

Make sure to get a model with Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 chips, Nucleo F401 or Nucleo F411 Board are a good choice if you need performance, Nucleo-L152RE is good for low power.

When you are more in development based on Linux then I fully agree with Adriaan,

Raspberry Pi 2 works very well it is the platform I like most at the moment, Beaglebone Black is a good choice when you need lots of I/O Pins and need to have reliable timing (It has two extra microcontrollers (PRU) integrated that can share i/O with the main processor)

Curious to know hands-on experience of list-members with FreePascal embedded. Arduino <http://arduino.cc/> looks quite attractive to me, but it's not Pascal. Any recommendations ?

Raspberry Pi is a possibility, but my experience is that it has reliability problems which /might/ center on the removable SD card. BeagleBone Black has a lot going for it particularly if you can use its high-speed supplementary processors. Otherwise the MIPS Creator C120 http://store.imgtec.com/ look interesting, but I don't know whether anybody has FPC on it yet.
